"INSERT INTO" Statements
This section describes how to insert data rows with INSERT INTO statements.
INSERT statements are used very often by database applications to insert data rows into tables. The syntax of INSERT statements is very simple. You need to provide a list of column names and a list of values for those columns. There are a couple of simple rules about INSERT statements:
INSERT statements should be executed with the executeUpdate() method. Here is a simple program that insert a single row into my table Herong.Profile:
/* InsertRows.java - Copyright (c) 2015, HerongYang.com, All Rights Reserved. */ import java.sql.*; public class InsertRows { public static void main(String [] args) { Connection con = null; try { con = DriverManager.getConnection( "jdbc:sqlserver://localhost\\SQLEXPRESS;" + "user=sa;password=HerongY@ng;" + "database=AdventureWorks2014"); Statement sta = con.createStatement(); // insert a single row int count = sta.executeUpdate( "INSERT INTO Herong.Customer" + " (BusinessEntityID, FirstName, LastName, ModifiedDate)" + " VALUES (1000, 'Herong', 'Yang', '2007-04-01')"); System.out.println("Number of rows inserted: "+count); // getting the data back ResultSet res = sta.executeQuery( "SELECT * FROM Herong.Customer"); System.out.println("List of Customers: "); while (res.next()) { System.out.println( " "+res.getString("Title") + ", "+res.getString("FirstName") + ", "+res.getString("LastName") + ", "+res.getDate("ModifiedDate")); } res.close(); sta.close(); con.close(); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } }
The output confirms that the insert statement was executed correctly:
C:\herong>\Progra~1\java\jdk1.8.0_45\bin\java -cp .;\local\lib\sqljdbc42.jar InsertRows Number of rows inserted: 1 List of Customers: null, Ken, Sánchez, 2009-01-07 null, Terri, Duffy, 2008-01-24 null, Roberto, Tamburello, 2007-11-04 null, Rob, Walters, 2007-11-28 Ms., Gail, Erickson, 2007-12-30 Mr., Jossef, Goldberg, 2013-12-16 null, Dylan, Miller, 2009-02-01 null, Diane, Margheim, 2008-12-22 null, Gigi, Matthew, 2009-01-09 null, Michael, Raheem, 2009-04-26 null, Herong, Yang, 2007-04-01
