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:

INSERT INTO <table_name> 
( <column_reference> [ , ... ] )
VALUES 
( { <expression> | NULL } [ , ... ] ) 
  

<expression> ::=
  | @ <parameter> 
  | ?
  | <literal>

You can use the ExecuteNonQuery method to execute data manipulation commands and retrieve the rows affected, as shown in the following example:

C#

String connectionString = "User='[email protected]';Password='myPassword';Server='https://outlook.office365.com/EWS/Exchange.asmx';Platform='Exchange_Online';Schema='EWS';";
using (ExchangeConnection connection = new ExchangeConnection(connectionString)) {
  int rowsAffected;
  ExchangeCommand cmd = new ExchangeCommand("INSERT INTO Contacts (GivenName) VALUES ('John')", connection);
  rowsAffected = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
}

VB.NET

Dim connectionString As [String] = "User='[email protected]';Password='myPassword';Server='https://outlook.office365.com/EWS/Exchange.asmx';Platform='Exchange_Online';Schema='EWS';"
Using connection As New ExchangeConnection(connectionString)
  Dim rowsAffected As Integer
  Dim cmd As New ExchangeCommand("INSERT INTO Contacts (GivenName) VALUES ('John')", connection)
  rowsAffected = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
End Using
