Inserting Data Rows 

Procedure

Choose Query By Example ® Insert Row. The current data row will be copied to the end of the table. You can overwrite the data.

The data must be confirmed with Execute.

To insert several new data rows, change to input mode by choosing Query by Example ® New Row. An empty input mask will appear, into which you can enter your data. When the data has been confirmed a new empty input mask appears.

If you do not wish to insert any more data records, choose Query by Example ® New Row again or ESC .

Columns which may be empty or have a DEFAULT value do not need to be specified. On the other hand, there may be columns which have to be specified if they are part of the table key, for example.

If you do not know the type of column, hold the mouse over the relevant column for a moment to display the column type. Lead columns are printed bold in the Query By Example dialog.

If you have specified column values, these will be automatically selected as insertion values.

If it is a LONG column, you can import a file or the contents of the clipboard, as long as it consists of text, as the value for this column.
