The basic syntax for the INSERT statement is as follows.

INSERT INTO <table_name>
VALUES (
value1,
value2,
etc......
);

The above format will work fine if you are inserting data into every field in a row.

If you only want to insert data into certain fields (columns) you will need to specify only these fields as part of the statement.

INSERT INTO <table_name> (
column1,
column2,
....
) VALUES (
value1,
value2,
....
);
