In SQL, bulk operations can be performed using batch insert statements (INSERT INTO), which allows multiple records to be inserted into a database table at once. Here are some common methods for batch insert in SQL.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. You can insert multiple records by using multiple INSERT INTO statements within a single SQL statement. Each INSERT INTO statement inserts one record.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    INSERT<\/span> INTO<\/span> table_name (column1, column2, ...)\r\nVALUES<\/span> (value1, value2, ...),\r\n       (value1, value2, ...),\r\n       ...\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
      \n
    1. You can use the INSERT INTO SELECT statement to insert records from one table into another table.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      INSERT<\/span> INTO<\/span> table_name (column1, column2, ...)\r\nSELECT<\/span> column1, column2, ...\r\nFROM<\/span> source_table\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
        \n
      1. Combining multiple records using INSERT INTO VALUES statement and UNION ALL operator: You can include multiple INSERT INTO VALUES statements and combine them together using the UNION ALL operator. Each INSERT INTO VALUES statement inserts one record.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        INSERT<\/span> INTO<\/span> table_name (column1, column2, ...)\r\nVALUES<\/span> (value1, value2, ...)\r\nUNION<\/span> ALL<\/span>\r\nVALUES<\/span> (value1, value2, ...)\r\nUNION<\/span> ALL<\/span>\r\n...\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
        The above are several common methods for SQL batch insertion, you can choose the appropriate method based on your specific needs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
