INSERT INTO table VALUES ... A SQL feature (since SQL-92) is the use of row value constructors to insert multiple rows at a time in a single SQL statement:
The easiest way to insert a new table is to use the editing toolbar that appears when you edit a page (see image above). Clicking the button will open a dialog where you define what you want in your new table. Once you've chosen the number of rows and columns, the wiki markup text for the table is inserted into the article.
Additionally there is a single-row version, UPDATE OR INSERT INTO tablename (columns) VALUES (values) [MATCHING (columns)], but the latter does not give you the option to take different actions on insert versus update (e.g. setting a new sequence value only for new rows, not for existing ones.)
To add an extra row into a table, you'll need to insert an extra row break and the same number of new cells as are in the other rows. The easiest way to do this in practice, is to duplicate an existing row by copying and pasting the markup. It's then just a matter of editing the cell contents.
To start a new table row, type a vertical bar and a hyphen on its own line: "|-". The codes for the cells in that row start on the next line. {| |+ The table's caption |-row code goes here |-next row code goes here |} Type the codes for each table cell in the next row, starting with a bar:
A Bulk insert is a process or method provided by a database management system to load multiple rows of data into a database table. Bulk insert may refer to: Transact-SQL BULK INSERT statement; PL/SQL BULK COLLECT and FORALL statements; MySQL LOAD DATA INFILE statement; PostgreSQL COPY statement
Edit-tricks are most useful when multiple tables must be changed, then the time needed to develop complex edit-patterns can be applied to each table. For each table, insert an alpha-prefix on each column (making each row-token "|-" to sort as column zero, like prefix "Row124col00"), then sort into a new file, and then de-prefix the column entries.
To avoid this problem when doing an alphabetical sort, select all of the table except the header rows. To do so with multiple columns click the top left non-column-header cell, and then shift-click the bottom right cell. When you click on "ascending" or "descending" in the data menu the table will be sorted alphabetically. That is the default.
