3 points
In this article, we would like to show you how to use INSERT INTO statement in PostgreSQL.
Quick solution:
xxxxxxxxxx1
INSERT INTO "table_name"2
("column1", "column2", "column3", ...)3
VALUES4
("value1", "value2", "value3", ...);or:
xxxxxxxxxx1
INSERT INTO "table_name"2
("column1", "column2", "column3", ...)3
VALUES4
("value1", "value2", "value3", ...),5
("value1", "value2", "value3", ...),6
("value1", "value2", "value3", ...),7
...;

Note:
At the end of this article you can find database preparation SQL queries.
In this example, we will insert a new user (moderator) into the users table.
Query:
xxxxxxxxxx1
INSERT INTO "users" ("name", "role") VALUES ('Matt', 'moderator');Output:
In this example, we will insert three new users into the users table.

xxxxxxxxxx1
INSERT INTO "users" 2
("name", "role") 3
VALUES 4
('Matt', 'moderator'),5
('Peter', 'admin'),6
('Jack', 'user');Output:
create_tables.sql file:
xxxxxxxxxx1
CREATE TABLE "users" (2
"id" SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,3
"name" VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,4
"role" VARCHAR(15) NOT NULL5
); insert_data.sql file:
xxxxxxxxxx1
INSERT INTO "users"2
("name", "role")3
VALUES4
('John', 'admin'),5
('Chris', 'moderator'),6
('Kate', 'user'),7
('Denis', 'moderator');
