Adding data to a SQLite database

In order to add data to our SQLite database, we need to use an insert statement. We provide the insert statement with the name of the table we are updating and the values we wish to add to this table. We can then execute this as a query in the same way as before.

The insert syntax is as follows:

INSERT INTO table (column1, column2) VALUES (value1, value2);

So, for our users table, we could use the following:

INSERT INTO users (username, real_name) VALUES ("davidlove", "David Love");

import sqlite3 ...
