Details

An sql:column may be used as a child element of sql:insert, to identify the name and value of a column to be included in the INSERT statement. The name of the column is identified by the name attribute, the value may be indicated either by evaluating the expression contained in the select attribute, or as the expanded contents of the sql:column element. The value is converted to the required data type if possible.
