How deeply does Build Python Web Apps with Streamlit cover insert?

Explains syntax, column mapping, defaults, escape strings, and foreign-key requirements through worked inserts.

Insert

As explained in Build Python Web Apps with Streamlit

INSERT INTO is a SQL statement that adds one or more rows to a table.

INSERT INTO adds one or more rows to a table. Name the table, list the destination columns, and provide matching values in the same order. section 8.2.4

Add a user

INSERT INTO users (username, password_hash) VALUES ('alice', 'Pass_word&34'); adds one row to users. The listed columns make the value mapping explicit. section 8.2.4

Add a haiku

INSERT INTO haikus (author, text) VALUES ('alice', E'Two foxes leap high\nOne lands safely on the earth\nWhere is the other?'); inserts selected columns while the database supplies haiku_id and the default created_at timestamp. section 8.2.4

When inserting rows:

Match each value to the corresponding column in the column list. section 8.2.4
Omit columns when defaults or automatically generated values should be used. section 8.2.4
Supply an author that already exists when a foreign key constraint requires it. section 8.2.4
