CREATE TABLE `users` (
    `id` INT(10) UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
    `name` VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
    `role` VARCHAR(15) NOT NULL,
    PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
)
ENGINE=InnoDB;

insert_data.sql file:

xxxxxxxxxx
 
INSERT INTO `users`
    (`name`, `role`)
VALUES
    ('John', 'admin'),
    ('Chris', 'moderator'),
    ('Kate', 'user'),
    ('Denis', 'moderator');
