Insert
An insertion is an operation that adds an element, record, or key-value association to a collection or data store, with placement and replacement behavior determined by the target.
Grokking Data Structures
Insertion is the operation of adding a new element to a collection while placing it in the position required by the collection's ordering.
- How it is used
- Shows how adding an element follows a collection’s ordering, priority, or placement rules.
- How deep it goes
- Works through Python insertion methods for sorted arrays and BSTs, including placement steps and running-time considerations.
- Examples
- Uses insertion of 3 into a sorted array and a priority-9 bug report bubbling up a heap.
- What you can do after
- Build it from scratch: implement sorted-array shifting or BST branch traversal to place a new value.

INSERT INTO is a SQL statement that adds one or more rows to a table.
- How it is used
- Adds users and haikus to tables while building a CRUD application.
- How deep it goes
- Explains syntax, column mapping, defaults, escape strings, and foreign-key requirements through worked inserts.
- Examples
- Uses users and haikus, including Alice's account and two multiline haiku rows.
- What you can do after
- Builds populated users and haikus tables with explicit values and database-generated fields.
