INSERT - SQL Command

Appends a record to the end of a table that contains the specified field values.

The Visual FoxPro ODBC Driver supports the native Visual FoxPro language syntax for this command. For driver-specific information, see the Remarks.

Syntax

  
INSERT INTO dbf_name [(fname1 [, fname2, ...])]  
   VALUES (eExpression1 [, eExpression2, ...])  

Arguments

INSERT INTO dbf_name
Specifies the name of the table to which the new record is appended. dbf_name can include a path and can be a name expression.

If the table you specify isn't open, it is opened exclusively in a new work area and the new record is appended to the table. The new work area isn't selected; the current work area remains selected.

If the table you specify is open, INSERT appends the new record to the table. If the table is open in a work area other than the current work area, it isn't selected after the record is appended; the current work area remains selected.

[( fname1[, fname2[, ...]])]
Specifies in the new record the names of the fields into which the values are inserted.

VALUES ( eExpression1[, eExpression2[, ...]])
Specifies the field values inserted into the new record. If you omit the field names, you must specify the field values in the order defined by the table structure.

Remarks

The new record contains the data listed in the VALUES clause.

Driver Remarks

When your application sends the ODBC SQL statement INSERT to the data source, the Visual FoxPro ODBC Driver converts the command into the Visual FoxProINSERT command without translation.
