I know this question deals with a lot of SQL, but I am applying it to ASP, so I think this is the best place for it.
When I learned SQL, I saw the "insert" command as very useless. It tries to do so much that it often gives errors, since any part of it wrong generates an error. I always use "addnew" which allows you to add each entry on a new line. Although this may generate errors, you can easily handle the errors or use the error to troubleshoot. If youhandle the error well, you can still perform the "update", essentially posting most of the data, just missing the part that gives you errors. Does this make sense?
On this forum I have seen "insert" used by default in the majority of cases and many poor newbies pulling their hair out trying to figure out were the error is. I even saw one who was trying to use "insert" to change a single field in an existing record. It doesn't make sense to me to use "insert" in this way, but maybe I am missing something. Please explain to me, when would you use "insert" rather than "addNew" or any of the other SQL key words?

The AddNew method creates a new record for an updateable Recordset object.
After you call this method, the new record will be the current record.
while
The INSERT INTO statement is used to insert new rows into a table.

hello
I have a DB with many inter-related tables (MySQL)
My main table called "content" has almost only foreign keys (integers)
some have a 3 level relation (ex: content->city->region->country)
I would like admins to be able to insert new records including all the
"content" fields (in 1 page form)
But how can I make an insert form that would display the related
tables as list menus instead of a textfield with a number? (ex: select

Is there a way in SQL Server 2000 to extract data from a table, such that
the result is a text file in the format of "Insert Into..." statements, i.e.
if the table has 5 rows, the result would be 5 lines of :
insert into Table (, , .... VALUES a,b,c)
insert into Table (, , .... VALUES d, e, f)
insert into Table (, , .... VALUES g, h, i)
insert into Table (, , .... VALUES j, k, l)
insert into Table (, , .... VALUES m, n, o)

Hi, all
When I use ASP to insert an record to a database, I got
some errors and can not insert any value with Chinese Char.
The only way I can do that is use "rst1.Addnew...rst1.update".
Anyone know why?
thx

So I have some data that I want to put into a table. If the
row already exists (as defined by the primary key), I would
like to update the row. Otherwise, I would like to insert
the row.
I've been doing something like
delete from foo where name = 'xx';
insert into foo values('xx',1,2,...);

Hi Guys....
My input is something like this "c1cc(c(cc1)I)/C=N\n1c(nnc1)S".
You can see the "\n" in between the input. It is not a newline character as my input has that character. I want to insert the input as it is. But When I try to insert into mysql database, it's stored as two lines like the below..
c1cc(c(cc1)I)/C=N
1c(nnc1)S
I want to insert as it is!!!!!!

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
