# Insert data into table with SQL `INSERT` statement
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
_A table named `sales`:_
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
| saleId | modelId | date | salesPerson |
|
||
|
|
| ------ | ------- | ---------- | ----------- |

```sql
|
||
|
|
INSERT INTO sales
|
||
|
|
VALUES (1, 11, '2020-01-01','mhogan');
|
||
|
|
```

> If you intend to miss out a value, you shouldn't leave it blank, you should instead use `NULL` :
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```sql
|
||
|
|
INSERT INTO sales
|
||
|
|
VALUES (1, 11, '2020-01-01', NULL);
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> The approach above works well if the order of entry matches the order of the table fields. If this is not the case you can specify the order as part of the `INSERT` statement:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```sql
|
||
|
|
INSERT INTO sales**(employee_id, sale_id, model_id, sale_date)**
|
||
|
|
VALUES ('mhogan', 1, 11, '2020-01-01',);
|
||
|
|
```
