INSERT Multiple Records with a Single INSERT Statement in SQL Server

In this blog you will learn how to INSERT Multiple Records with a single INSERT statement in SQL Server.

We have different ways to insert data in a table. The traditional approach is time consuming and boring because we have to repeat the same syntax again and again.

 

The following script helps to create the table.  

Create table Mas_Employee(
   Id int primary key identity(1,1),
   Name varchar(50),
   Salary int ,
   DeptId int
)

Traditional Method

 

Method 1 : Insert statement with column list.

insert into Mas_Employee ( Name, Salary, DeptId )  values('Jaipal',18200,1);
insert  into Mas_Employee  ( Name, Salary, DeptId )  values ('Jayanth',14200,2);
insert  into Mas_Employee  ( Name, Salary, DeptId )  values ('Sreeshanth',12999,2);
insert  into Mas_Employee  ( Name, Salary, DeptId )  values ('Tejaswini',16800,1);

Method 2 : Without using column list (into is optional).

insert Mas_Employee  values ('Jaipal',18200,1);
insert Mas_Employee  values ('Jayanth',14200,2);
insert Mas_Employee  values ('Sreeshanth',12999,2);
insert Mas_Employee  values ('Tejaswini',16800,1);

Method 3 : You can also use graphical representation.

Go to Object Explorer, then Databases, your Database. After that, go to Tables and open Mas_Employee table by clicking on it. Select 'Edit Top 10000 Rows' and insert your data
