Node.js - MySQL Insert Data

SQL uses following INSERT statement to insert data in tables.

INSERT INTO users (user_id, user_name, email) VALUES (1, 'john', 'john@example.com')

1	INSERT INTO users (user_id, user_name, email) VALUES (1, 'john', 'john@example.com')

Insert Single Record

Create a JavaScript file in your application to insert data to table using Node.js application.

vim insert_mysql_data.js

Add the following content.

var mysql = require('mysql');

var dbconn = mysql.createConnection({
   host: "localhost",
   port: "3306",
   user: "root",
   password: "secret",
   database: "tecadmin"
});
dbconn.connect(function(err) {
   if (err) throw err;
   console.log("Database connected successfully!");

  var sqlquery = "INSERT INTO users (user_id, user_name, email) VALUES (1, 'john', 'john@example.com')";
  dbconn.query(sqlquery, function (err, result) {
    if (err) throw err;
        console.log(result.affectedRows + " record inserted");
  });
});

var mysql = require('mysql');

var dbconn = mysql.createConnection({

host: "localhost",

port: "3306",

user: "root",

password: "secret",

database: "tecadmin"

});

dbconn.connect(function(err) {

if (err) throw err;

console.log("Database connected successfully!");

var sqlquery = "INSERT INTO users (user_id, user_name, email) VALUES (1, 'john', 'john@example.com')";

dbconn.query(sqlquery, function (err, result) {

if (err) throw err;

console.log(result.affectedRows + " record inserted");

});

Execute the JavaScript file using node. On successful execution you will get results like below.

node insert_mysql_data.js

Output:
Database connected successfully!
1 record inserted

Insert Multiple Records

You can also insert multiple records into the database table. Create a JavaScript file in your application to insert data to table using Node.js application.

vim insert_multi_record_mysql.js

Add the following content. We have created an array of records then inserted into the database.

var mysql = require('mysql');

var dbconn = mysql.createConnection({
   host: "localhost",
   port: "3306",
   user: "root",
   password: "secret",
   database: "tecadmin"
});
dbconn.connect(function(err) {
   if (err) throw err;
   console.log("Database connected successfully!");

  var sqlquery = "INSERT INTO users (user_id, user_name, email) VALUES ?";
  records = [
    [11, 'John', 'john@example.com'],
    [12, 'Rahul', 'rahul@example.com'],
    [13, 'Andrew', 'andrew@example.com'],
    [14, 'Sarah', 'sarah@example.net']
  ];
  dbconn.query(sqlquery, [records] , function (err, result) {
    if (err) throw err;
        console.log(result.affectedRows + " record inserted");
  });
});

var mysql = require('mysql');

var dbconn = mysql.createConnection({

host: "localhost",

port: "3306",

user: "root",

password: "secret",

database: "tecadmin"

});

dbconn.connect(function(err) {

if (err) throw err;

console.log("Database connected successfully!");

var sqlquery = "INSERT INTO users (user_id, user_name, email) VALUES ?";

records = [

[11, 'John', 'john@example.com'],

[12, 'Rahul', 'rahul@example.com'],

[13, 'Andrew', 'andrew@example.com'],

[14, 'Sarah', 'sarah@example.net']

];

dbconn.query(sqlquery, [records] , function (err, result) {

if (err) throw err;

console.log(result.affectedRows + " record inserted");

});

Execute the JavaScript file using node. On successful execution you will get results like below.

node insert_multi_record_mysql.js

Output:
Database connected successfully!
4 record inserted
