The INSERT operator is used to put records into a table INSERT INTO table-name [(col-name [,col-name]...)] VALUES (constant [,constant]...); If we are inserting into all fields of a record, we don't have to list the individual fields example :To INSERT a new faculty record for Jones, ID #, in CHE as Instructor. INSERT INTO faculty VALUES ('987654321', 'jones', 'che', 'instructor'); This puts the record of Jones into faculty as an instructor for che.
