In CRUD operations, the
INSERTis the ‘C’ and theUPDATEis the ‘U’. They are two of the four basic functions of persistent storage. The other two areSELECTandDELETE. Without at least these four operations, a typical database system cannot be considered complete.Use
INSERTto insert a new record.Use
UPDATEto update an existing record.
