INSERT INTO EMP VALUES('&NAME',&ID);
ENTER NAME
ENTER ID
AFTER GIVINGG THE TWO FIELDS ONCE THE CODE EXCUTES AND ONE RWO IS CREATED.
BUT I WANT TO GIVE MULTIPLE VALUES AFTER THE 1ST ROWS IS CREATED(i.e FOR THE 2ND ROW,3RD VALUES)HOW TO DO THAT.

INSERT INTO dbo.x VALUES('Explicit value','Explicit value') would insert two records ... or as you say INSERT INTO EMP VALUES('xylem',1),('phloem',2),('cantbeatum',3),('joinem',4) ... yes?

Solution 1

See the syntax of the INSERT statement: INSERT (Transact-SQL) | Microsoft Docs[^] It's in the section " Inserting multiple rows of data"

SQL

INSERT INTO TableName (list of columns) 
VALUES (list of values for row 1), 
       (list of values for row 2),
       (list of values for row 2),
       (list of values for row 2), 
       (list of values for row 2), 
       (list of values for row 2)

how to use max function with other feilds to retrive data.
the command is not working for retriving the data like first_name,last_name with the highest paid employee.
command:-
select first_name,last_name from employee where salary=max(salary);
error :
group function is not allowed here.

select first_name, last_name from employee where salary =(select max(salary) from employee)
