Performs an INSERT into the table.


<Tabs
  defaultActiveId="dart"
  groupId="reference/dart"
  values={[{ label: 'Dart', value: 'dart' }]}>

<TabsPanel id="dart" label="dart">

```dart
final res = await supabase
  .from('cities')
  .insert([
    {'name': 'The Shire', 'country_id': 554}
  ]).execute();
```


</TabsPanel>

</Tabs>





## Notes

- By default, every time you run `insert()`, the client library will make a `select` to return the full record.
This is convenient, but it can also cause problems if your Policies are not configured to allow the `select` operation. 
If you are using Row Level Security and you are encountering problems, try setting the `returning` param to `minimal`.










## Examples

### Create a record



<Tabs
  defaultActiveId="dart"
  groupId="reference/dart"
  values={[{ label: 'Dart', value: 'dart' }]}>

<TabsPanel id="dart" label="dart">

```dart
final res = await supabase
  .from('cities')
  .insert([
    {'name': 'The Shire', 'country_id': 554}
  ]).execute();
```


</TabsPanel>

</Tabs>

### Bulk create



<Tabs
  defaultActiveId="dart"
  groupId="reference/dart"

  .from('cities')
