Inserting data means adding new records into a database table.
Whenever a user signs up, places an order, or submits a form, data is inserted into the database.
SQL provides commands to store this data permanently.
Before inserting data, a table must already exist.
Data is always inserted into specific columns of a table.
The database must be selected before performing insert operations.
The INSERT INTO statement is used to add data into a table.
Column names are specified to define where values should be stored.
Values must follow the same order as columns.
Only the required values are provided during insertion.
Auto increment columns do not require manual values.
This keeps data entry clean and organized.
Multiple records can be inserted by repeating the insert command.
In real applications, insert queries run frequently in the backend.
Understanding insert operations is essential for backend developers.
