INSERT .. SET
Applies to ✅ Open Source Edition ✅ Express Edition ✅ Professional Edition ✅ Enterprise Edition
MySQL (and some other RDBMS) allow for using a non-SQL-standard, UPDATE-like syntax for INSERT statements. This is also supported in jOOQ (and emulated for all databases), should you prefer that syntax. The above INSERT statement can also be expressed as follows:
create.insertInto(AUTHOR)
.set(AUTHOR.ID, 100)
.set(AUTHOR.FIRST_NAME, "Hermann")
.set(AUTHOR.LAST_NAME, "Hesse")
.execute();
Multi row variant:
create.insertInto(AUTHOR)
.set(AUTHOR.ID, 100)
.set(AUTHOR.FIRST_NAME, "Hermann")
.set(AUTHOR.LAST_NAME, "Hesse")
.newRecord()
.set(AUTHOR.ID, 101)
.set(AUTHOR.FIRST_NAME, "Alfred")
.set(AUTHOR.LAST_NAME, "Döblin")
.execute();
As you can see, this syntax is a bit more verbose, but also more readable, as every field can be matched with its value. Internally, the two syntaxes are strictly equivalent.
Dialect support
This example using jOOQ:
insertInto(AUTHOR).set(AUTHOR.ID, 100).set(AUTHOR.LAST_NAME, "Hesse")
Translates to the following dialect specific expressions:
All dialects
INSERT INTO AUTHOR (ID, LAST_NAME) VALUES ( 100, 'Hesse' )
