Home > SQL Developer Tutorial: Cre... > Insert Data into the Tables
For your convenience in using the view and the PL/SQL procedure that you will create, add some sample data to the BOOKS, PATRONS, and TRANSACTIONS tables. (If you do not add sample data, you can still create the remaining objects in this tutorial, but the view and the procedure will not return any results.)
Go to the SQL Worksheet window associated with the database connection you have been using. (For information about using the SQL Worksheet, see Using the SQL Worksheet.) Copy and paste the following INSERT statements into the Enter SQL Statement box:
INSERT INTO books VALUES ('A1111', 'Moby Dick', 'Melville', 'Herman', 10); INSERT INTO books VALUES ('A2222', 'Get Rich Really Fast', 'Scammer', 'Ima', 1); INSERT INTO books VALUES ('A3333', 'Finding Inner Peace', 'Blissford', 'Serenity', null); INSERT INTO books VALUES ('A4444', 'Great Mystery Stories', 'Whodunit', 'Rodney', 5); INSERT INTO books VALUES ('A5555', 'Software Wizardry', 'Abugov', 'D.', 10); INSERT INTO patrons VALUES (patron_id_seq.nextval, 'Smith', 'Jane', '123 Main Street', 'Mytown, MA 01234', null); INSERT INTO patrons VALUES (patron_id_seq.nextval, 'Chen', 'William', '16 S. Maple Road', 'Mytown, MA 01234', null); INSERT INTO patrons VALUES (patron_id_seq.nextval, 'Fernandez', 'Maria', '502 Harrison Blvd.', 'Sometown, NH 03078', null); INSERT INTO patrons VALUES (patron_id_seq.nextval, 'Murphy', 'Sam', '57 Main Street', 'Mytown, MA 01234', null); INSERT INTO transactions (patron_id, book_id, transaction_date, transaction_type) VALUES (100, 'A1111', SYSDATE, 1); INSERT INTO transactions (patron_id, book_id, transaction_date, transaction_type) VALUES (100, 'A2222', SYSDATE, 2); INSERT INTO transactions (patron_id, book_id, transaction_date, transaction_type) VALUES (101, 'A3333', SYSDATE, 3); INSERT INTO transactions (patron_id, book_id, transaction_date, transaction_type) VALUES (101, 'A2222', SYSDATE, 1); INSERT INTO transactions (patron_id, book_id, transaction_date, transaction_type) VALUES (102, 'A3333', SYSDATE, 1); INSERT INTO transactions (patron_id, book_id, transaction_date, transaction_type) VALUES (103, 'A4444', SYSDATE, 2); INSERT INTO transactions (patron_id, book_id, transaction_date, transaction_type) VALUES (100, 'A4444', SYSDATE, 1); INSERT INTO transactions (patron_id, book_id, transaction_date, transaction_type) VALUES (102, 'A2222', SYSDATE, 2); INSERT INTO transactions (patron_id, book_id, transaction_date, transaction_type) VALUES (102, 'A5555', SYSDATE, 1); INSERT INTO transactions (patron_id, book_id, transaction_date, transaction_type) VALUES (101, 'A2222', SYSDATE, 1);
