To insert into only one column  use only one piece of data   INSERT INTO Data   Col1   VALUES   Hello World      Alternatively  to insert multiple records  separate the inserts   INSERT INTO Data   Col1   VALUES   Hello      World

I believe this should work for inserting multiple rows   INSERT INTO Data   Col1   VALUES   Hello      World

Another way to do this is with union   INSERT INTO Data   Col1    select  hello  union  select  world

In that code you are inserting two column value   You can try this     INSERT INTO Data   Col1   VALUES   Hello       INSERT INTO Data   Col1   VALUES   World

If your DBMS supports the notation  you need a separate set of parentheses for each row   INSERT INTO Data Col1  VALUES   Hello      World      The cross-referenced question shows examples for inserting into two columns   Alternatively  every SQL DBMS supports the notation using separate statements  one for each row to be inserted   INSERT INTO Data  Col1  VALUES   Hello    INSERT INTO Data  Col1  VALUES   World

to insert values for a particular column with other columns remain same -  INSERT INTO  table name  col1 col2 col3     VALUES  1  val1  0   1  val2  0   1  val3  0

User · Answer

Kindly ensure  the other columns are not constrained to accept Not null values  hence while creating columns in table just ignore  Not Null  syntax  eg  Create Table Table Name              col1 DataType              col2 DataType     You can then insert multiple row values in any of the columns you want to  For instance   Insert Into TableName columnname  values        x          y          z     and so on     Hope this helps
