One of the SQL enhancements in SQL Server 2008: Values new use

What's new in SQL Server 2008: You can insert multiple rows using a single insert command.

Create TableDemo_values (PKIDInt Not Null Identity(1,1)Primary Key, dnameNvarchar(20)Null, DCodeNVarchar(30)Null, DdateDatetime Null)Go
--This SQL was only for SQL Server 2008 Insert IntoDemo_values (Dname,dcode,ddate)Values(‘Demoa‘,‘Aaa‘,GETDATE()), (‘Demob‘,‘Bbb‘,GETDATE()), (‘Democ‘,‘Ccc‘,getdate ()), ( demod ' , ddd ' ,getdate ()), ( ' demoe ", ' eee ,getdate ())
--< Span style= "color: #008080;" > (5 row (s) affected)

In addition to inserting more than one line at a time, values has a more subtle use of using a permanent table or temporary table instead of a result set, and does not require a function or table variable. Look at the following example:

--This SQL was only for SQL Server 2008 SelectDname,dcode,ddateFrom(Values(‘Demoa‘,‘Aaa‘,GETDATE()), (‘Demob‘,‘Bbb‘,GETDATE()), (‘Democ‘,‘Ccc‘,GETDATE()), (‘Demod‘,‘Ddd‘,getdate ()), ( demoe ' , eee ' ,getdate ())) demo_values (dname,dcode,ddate) -- (5 row (s) affected) /* dname DCode ddate Demoa AAA 2010-10-12 20:37:45.500 demob BBB 2010-10-12 20:37:45.500 Democ CCC 2010-10-12 20:37:45.500 Demod DDD 2010-10-12 20:37:45.500 demoe EEE 2010-10-12 20:37:45.500 */

Note the last line of the statement defines the source name and the column name, where the column name is used for the SELECT statement.
