# [[Python MySQL Insert]]

## 🎯 한 줄 통찰 (One-line insight)
`mydb.commit()` is not optional — without it, INSERT/executemany() changes silently never reach the table, since the connector buffers writes until explicitly committed. [S1]

## 🧠 핵심 개념 (Core concepts)
- **`%s` placeholders** — `sql = "INSERT INTO customers (name, address) VALUES (%s, %s)"` — parameterized, injection-safe insertion. [S1]
- **`mycursor.execute(sql, val)`** — executes with a tuple of values bound to the placeholders. [S1]
- **`mydb.commit()`** — REQUIRED to persist changes; without it, no changes are made to the table. [S1]
- **`mycursor.rowcount`** — number of rows affected by the last statement. [S1]
- **`executemany(sql, val)`** — inserts multiple rows at once; `val` is a list of tuples. [S1]
- **`mycursor.lastrowid`** — the auto-generated ID of the last inserted row (only the LAST row's ID if multiple were inserted). [S1]

## 🧩 추출된 패턴 (Extracted patterns)
- **commit() is the universal write-finalizer** — every mutating operation (INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE) in this whole Python-MySQL series requires the same `mydb.commit()` call, making it the single most important line to remember across all of them. [S1]

## 📖 세부 내용 (Details)
- Single insert with commit: `sql = "INSERT INTO customers (name, address) VALUES (%s, %s)"; val = ("John", "Highway 21"); mycursor.execute(sql, val); mydb.commit(); print(mycursor.rowcount, "record inserted.")`. [S1]
- Multiple rows: `val = [('Peter','Lowstreet 4'), ...]; mycursor.executemany(sql, val); mydb.commit()`. [S1]
- Get last inserted ID: `print("1 record inserted, ID:", mycursor.lastrowid)`. [S1]

## ⚖️ 모순 및 업데이트 (Contradictions & updates)
소스에서 모순되는 정보는 발견되지 않음. commit()이 없으면 아무 변경도 반영되지 않는다는 점이 "Important!"로 강조됨. [S1]

## 🛠️ 적용 사례 (Applied in summary)
현재 발견된 실제 적용 사례가 없습니다 — SQL Injection/Parameters 챕터에서 배운 파라미터화 쿼리(%s)가 여기서 mysql.connector의 실제 구현으로 이어진다. [S1]

## 💻 코드 패턴 (Code patterns)
Insert with required commit() (Python):
```python
sql = "INSERT INTO customers (name, address) VALUES (%s, %s)"
val = ("John", "Highway 21")
mycursor.execute(sql, val)
mydb.commit()  # required, or no changes persist
print(mycursor.rowcount, "record inserted.")
```
