Examples

Consider the following table about some students:

student_id	fname	lname	day_enrolled	age	username
1	Sky	Towner	2015-12-03	17	stowner1
2	Ben	Davis	2016-04-20	19	bdavis2
3	Travis	Apple	2018-08-14	18	tapple3
4	Arthur	David	2016-04-01	16	adavid4
5	Benjamin	Town	2014-01-01	17	btown5

The above sample table can be created using the code here.

Basic usage

To insert a new record into students table:


        
        
            
                
                
                    INSERT INTO students (fname, lname, day_enrolled, age, username) 
VALUES('Sample', 'Test', '2020-01-01', 15, 'test123');
                
            
            Query OK, 1 row affected (0.01 sec)

                    SELECT * FROM students;
