### Description
|
|
|
|
The `INSERT INTO` statement inserts new rows into a table. The inserted rows can be specified by value expressions or result from a query.
|
|
|
|
### Syntax
|
|
|
|
```sql
|
|
INSERT INTO [ TABLE ] table_identifier [ partition_spec ]
|
|
{ VALUES ( { value | NULL } [ , ... ] ) [ , ( ... ) ] | query }
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Parameters
|
|
|
|
* **table_identifier**
|
|
|
|
Specifies a table name, which may be optionally qualified with a database name.
|
|
|
|
**Syntax:** `[ database_name. ] table_name`
|
|
|
|
* **partition_spec**
|
|
|
|
An optional parameter that specifies a comma separated list of key and value pairs
|
|
for partitions.
|
|
|
|
**Syntax:** `PARTITION ( partition_col_name = partition_col_val [ , ... ] )`
|
|
|
|
* **VALUES ( { value `|` NULL } [ , ... ] ) [ , ( ... ) ]**
|
|
|
|
Specifies the values to be inserted. Either an explicitly specified value or a NULL can be inserted.
|
|
A comma must be used to separate each value in the clause. More than one set of values can be specified to insert multiple rows.
|
|
|
|
* **query**
|
|
|
|
A query that produces the rows to be inserted. It can be in one of following formats:
|
|
* a `SELECT` statement
|
|
* a `TABLE` statement
|
|
* a `FROM` statement
|
|
|
