Syntax

DBInsert( strDBConn, strTable, strValues, optStrColumns, "optStrErrorTag" )
strDBConn
The name of the database connection. Connections are configured in the Database/ERP folder in the Project Explorer.
strTable
The name of the table in the database.
strValues
A string that lists the values to be written in the new row. This list of values should be comma-delimited, and string values must be enclosed in single quotes.
optStrColumns
A string that lists the columns into which the values will be written. This list of column names should be comma-delimited and in the same order as the values specified by strValues.

This is an optional parameter. If no columns are specified, then the values will be written in the default column order of the database table.

optStrErrorTag
The name of a String tag that will receive detailed error messages, if errors occur during runtime.
Note: The tag name must be enclosed in quotes, as shown in the syntax diagram, or else the project will try to get the value of the named tag.

This is an optional parameter.

Returned value

In case of error, returns a negative number. Otherwise, returns 1.
