I have the following problem:
I would't insert all the values in my db.
So, i would insert only id,tessera,nome,sex. I thought i had to write something like this:
INSERT INTO registries(id,tessera,'',nome,sex) VALUES (35983,35983,'DOG', 'FABIO', 'M')
I don't want to insert the DOG value in my db cause I don't have any attribute in my schema to save it.
I have 3000 rows and I take this row as example so I can't simply delete the DOG value and the attribute field in my sql query.
I remember that I have to use something like this
INSERT INTO registries(id,tessera,'',nome,sex)
I mean, I have to write '' to not consider the value in that position.
but MySQL gives me an error..
Can you help me?
You can handle this situation in following ways.
create temporary table on same server. Insert all data in temporary table then use insert into select statement and select required fields.
create temporary column and insert data in that column and delete temporary column
INSERT INTO registries (id,tessera,new_column,nome,sex)
VALUES (35983, 35983, '', 'FABIO', 'M');
Now
DROP COLUMN new_column from registries;
Try this (assuming dog is a column name):
INSERT INTO registries (id,tessera,dog_name,nome,sex) VALUES (35983, 35983, '', 'FABIO', 'M')
If dog_name is allowed to be NULL (which it is by default) you could also just not insert any value, like this:
INSERT INTO registries (id,tessera,nome,sex) VALUES (35983, 35983, 'FABIO', 'M')

So I read the other posts but this question is unique. So this SQL dump file has this as the last entry.
INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES(2781, 3, '2013-01-04 17:24:19', '2013-01-05 00:24:19'.
I'm trying to insert this value to the table...
INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES(5, 5, '2005-04-11 09:54:35', '2005-04-11 17:54:35'
it gives me the error, "Column count doesn't match value count at row 1." So I'm lost on the concept of how the column and row apply here.
Doesn't 2781,3 mean row 2781 and column 3? And doesn't 5,5 mean row 5 and column 5?
The error means that you are providing not as much data as the table wp_posts does contain columns. And now the DB engine does not know in which columns to put your data.
To overcome this you must provide the names of the columns you want to fill. Example:
insert into wp_posts (column_name1, column_name2)
values (1, 3)
Look up the table definition and see which columns you want to fill.
And insert means you are inserting a new record. You are not modifying an existing one. Use update for that.
you missed the comma between two values or column name
you put extra values or an extra column name
You should also look at new triggers.
MySQL doesn't show the table name in the error, so you're really left in a lurch. Here's a working example:
use test;
create table blah (id int primary key AUTO_INCREMENT, data varchar(100));
create table audit_blah (audit_id int primary key AUTO_INCREMENT, action enum('INSERT','UPDATE','DELETE'), id int, data varchar(100) null);
insert into audit_blah(action, id, data) values ('INSERT', 1, 'a');
select * from blah;
select * from audit_blah;
truncate table audit_blah;
delimiter //
/* I've commented out "id" below, so the insert fails with an ambiguous error: */
create trigger ai_blah after insert on blah for each row
begin
insert into audit_blah (action, /*id,*/ data) values ('INSERT', /*NEW.id,*/ NEW.data);
end;//
/* This insert is valid, but you'll get an exception from the trigger: */
insert into blah (data) values ('data1');
MySQL will also report "Column count doesn't match value count at row 1" if you try to insert multiple rows without delimiting the row sets in the VALUES section with parentheses, like so:
INSERT INTO `receiving_table`
(id,
first_name,
last_name)
VALUES
(1002,'Charles','Babbage'),
(1003,'George', 'Boole'),
(1001,'Donald','Chamberlin'),
(1004,'Alan','Turing'),
(1005,'My','Widenius');
You can resolve the error by providing the column names you are affecting.
> INSERT INTO table_name (column1,column2,column3)
`VALUES(50,'Jon Snow','Eye');`
please note that the semi colon should be added only after the statement providing values
In my case i just passed the wrong name table, so mysql couldn't find the right columns names.

I created a table in MySql
CREATE TABLE newuser(id VARCHAR(10) PRIMARY KEY,sname VARCHAR(20));
When I INSERT record it works fine
INSERT INTO newuser VALUE('abc123','monika');
But sometimes I don't want to supply id in the INSERT query and sometimes I want to supply. In case I don't supply id MySql automatically generate one.
What can I do to get both below query works?
INSERT INTO newuser VALUE('abc123','monika');
INSERT INTO newuser VALUE('nikita');
'I don't understood ANYTHING' - very new then.
Firstly second insert statement is invalid please review https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/insert.html -
'If you do not specify a list of column names for INSERT ... VALUES or INSERT ... SELECT, values for every column in the table must be provided by the VALUES list, SELECT statement, or TABLE statement.'
Secondly uuid is a function in which 'A UUID is designed as a number that is globally unique in space and time.' https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/insert.html
You can easily select uuid() to see what it produces.
You will need to increase the id size
If you wish to use it in an insert
insert into users values (uuid(),<sname>);
I am trying to insert my values into table if Admin_User_Role_Id value against Admin_Id is not present in the table. Is it possible to insert!
My Table Structure:
Admin_User_Id (FK)
Admin_User_Role_Id (FK)
Is_Enabled (boolean flag)
Query which I tried, but not success
INSERT INTO role_association
SET Admin_User_Id=61, Admin_User_Role_Id=2, Is_Enabled=0
WHERE Admin_User_Role_Id
NOT IN
(SELECT Admin_User_Id, Admin_User_Role_Id FROM role_association)
I think it is possible but my logic is wrong. How should I manage this query to work successfully!
INSERT syntax cannot have WHERE clause. The only time you will find INSERT has WHERE clause is when you are using INSERT INTO...SELECT statement.
Probably you take care about where condition in your programming logic and write a simple insert statement and the depending on your logic use this statement to insert the records. Hope you got my point.
You want to insert your values in your table using this query for your reference
INSERT INTO Yourtablename(column1,column2,column3,...)
VALUES ('value1','value2','value3',.....);
You want to ADD one new column in your table means using this query
** ALTER TABLE table_name ADD column_name datatype**
I have a table named student which consists of (rollno, name, sem, branch)
If I want to INSERT only one value (i.e only name has to be entered) what is the query?
To insert values into specific columns, you first have to specify which columns you want to populate. The query would look like this:
INSERT INTO your_table_name (your_column_name)
VALUES (the_value);
To insert values into more than one column, separate the column names with a comma and insert the values in the same order you added the column names:
INSERT INTO your_table_name (your_column_name_01, your_column_name_02)
VALUES (the_value_01, the_value_02);
If you are unsure, have a look at W3Schools.com. They usually have explanations with examples.
insert into student(name) values("The name you wan to insert");
Be careful not to forget to insert the primary key.
First, if the table is all empty, just wanna make the column 'name' with values, it is easy to use INSERT INTO. https://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_insert.asp.
`INSERT INTO TABLE_NAME (COLUMN_NAME) VALUES ("the values")`
Second, if the table is already with some values inside, and only wanna insert some values for one column, use UPDATE. https://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_update.asp
UPDATE table_name SET column1 = value1 WHERE condition;
insert into student (name)
select 'some name'
or
insert into student (name)
values ('some name')
Following works if other columns accept null or do have default value:
INSERT INTO Student (name) VALUES('Jack');
Further details can be found from the Reference Manual:: 13.2.5 INSERT Syntax.
Execute this query, if you want the rest of columns as "#", do insert # inside the single quote which is left blank in query.
Also, there is no need of defining column name in the query.
insert into student values('','your name','','');
Thanks...
