Chapter 10: Automating CRUD
Automatically Generating Simple INSERT
Statements
The INSERT statement is somewhat of an anticlimax after all this. I won't show it here
but, again, it's available with the code download (Ch10_InsertIntoTemplate.sql). The way
the template is used is identical, so I won't show that either. It produces some nice code,
like that shown in Listing 10-10.
INSERT INTO [Production].[WorkOrder] /*Manufacturing work orders.*/
( ProductID , /*Product identification number. Foreign key to Product.
ProductID.*/
OrderQty , /*Product quantity to build.*/
ScrappedQty , /*Quantity that failed inspection.*/
StartDate , /*Work order start date.*/
EndDate , /*Work order end date.*/
DueDate , /*Work order due date.*/
ScrapReasonID , /*Reason for inspection failure.*/
ModifiedDate /*Date and time the record was last updated.*/
)
VALUES ( 327 , /*Product identification number. Foreign key to Product.
ProductID.*/
3 , /*Product quantity to build.*/
2 , /*Quantity that failed inspection.*/
'1/4/2010' , /*Work order start date.*/
'3/5/2010' , /*Work order end date.*/
'4/5/2010' , /*Work order due date.*/
2 , /*Reason for inspection failure.*/
'11/07/2010' /*Date and time the record was last updated.*/
)

Apologies if I've caused any chaos in the AdventureWorks business, with my guesses at
legitimate values!
