# INSERT Statements

> To create new records, use INSERT statements.

## INSERT Syntax

The INSERT statement specifies the columns to be inserted and the new column values. You can specify the column values in a comma-separated list in the VALUES clause, as shown in the following example:

```bash theme={null}
INSERT INTO <table_name> 
( <column_reference> [ , ... ] )
VALUES 
( { <expression> | NULL } [ , ... ] ) 
  
  
<expression> ::=
  | @ <parameter>
  | ?
  | <literal>
```
