The PostgreSQL INSERT statement is used to insert a single record or multiple records
into a table. More about PostgreSQL INSERT statement can be found here: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/11/sql-insert.html
Following SQL table is used for insert example:
```sql
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS link (
id serial PRIMARY KEY,
url VARCHAR (255) NOT NULL,
name VARCHAR (255) NOT NULL,
description VARCHAR (255)
);
```
### Insert row by row
```
insertQuery := Link.INSERT(Link.ID, Link.URL, Link.Name, Link.Description).
VALUES(100, "http://www.postgresqltutorial.com", "PostgreSQL Tutorial", DEFAULT).
VALUES(101, "http://www.google.com", "Google", DEFAULT).
VALUES(102, "http://www.yahoo.com", "Yahoo", nil)
```
There is also shorthand notation for inserting model data:
```
tutorial := model.Link{
ID: 100,
URL: "http://www.postgresqltutorial.com",
Name: "PostgreSQL Tutorial",
}
google := model.Link{
ID: 101,
URL: "http://www.google.com",
Name: "Google",
}
yahoo := model.Link{
ID: 102,
URL: "http://www.yahoo.com",
Name: "Yahoo",
}
insertQuery := Link.INSERT(Link.ID, Link.URL, Link.Name, Link.Description).
MODEL(turorial).
MODEL(google).
MODEL(yahoo)
// Or event shorter if model data is in the slice:
insertQuery := Link.INSERT(Link.ID, Link.URL, Link.Name, Link.Description).
MODELS([]model.Link{turorial, google, yahoo})
```
`Link.ID, Link.URL, Link.Name, Link.Description` - is the same as Link.AllColumns
so above statement can be simplified to:
```
insertQuery := Link.INSERT(Link.AllColumns).
MODELS([]model.Link{turorial, google, yahoo})
```
`Link.ID` is a primary key autoincrement column so it can be omitted in INSERT statement.
`Link.MutableColumns` - is shorthand notation for list of all columns minus primary key columns.
```
insertQuery := Link.INSERT(Link.MutableColumns).
MODELS([]model.Link{turorial, google, yahoo})
```
Inserts using `VALUES`, `MODEL` and `MODELS` can appear as the part of the same insert statement.
```
insertQuery := Link.INSERT(Link.ID, Link.URL, Link.Name, Link.Description, Link.Description).
VALUES(101, "http://www.google.com", "Google", DEFAULT, DEFAULT).
MODEL(turorial).
MODELS([]model.Link{yahoo})
```
### Insert using query
A query (SELECT statement) that supplies the rows to be inserted.
```
// duplicate first 10 entries
query := Link.
INSERT(Link.URL, Link.Name).
QUERY(
SELECT(Link.URL, Link.Name).
FROM(Link).
WHERE(Link.ID.GT(Int(0)).AND(Link.ID.LT_EQ(10))),
)
```
