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))), ) ```
