It is also possible to only insert data in specific columns.

The following SQL statement will insert a new record, but only insert data in the "CustomerName", "City", and "Country" columns (CustomerID will be updated automatically):

Example

INSERT INTO Customers (CustomerName, City, Country)
VALUES ('Cardinal', 'Stavanger', 'Norway');

The selection from the "Customers" table will now look like this:

CustomerID CustomerName ContactName Address City PostalCode Country
89 White Clover Markets Karl Jablonski 305 - 14th Ave. S. Suite 3B Seattle 98128 USA
90
 
Wilman Kala Matti Karttunen Keskuskatu 45 Helsinki 21240 Finland
91
 
Wolski Zbyszek ul. Filtrowa 68 Walla 01-012 Poland
92 Cardinal null null  Stavanger null Norway
