# Insert Rows

You can insert a new row of data or a record in a table in the
[Data Store](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/data-store/introduction) by referring to the table's
unique ID or name. You can also insert multiple rows in a table as explained in the next section.

> **Note:**

1. The table and the columns in it must already be created. You can [create a table](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/data-store/tables/#create-a-new-table) and [the columns for it](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/data-store/columns/#create-a-new-column) from the console.

2. You will be able to insert upto 5000 records in each table per project in the [development environment](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/deployment-and-billing//environments/introduction). You can create upto 25,000 records overall in each project in the development environment. There are no upper limits for record creation in the production environment.

### Insert a Single Row

You must create a row instance and then pass the column names and their corresponding values as shown in the sample code below. The `insertRow()` method inserts a row to the table whose instance you create by referring to its unique name or ID. A unique `RowID` value for the row is automatically generated once a row is inserted.

#### Sample Code Snippet 

**Package Imports**

```java
import com.zc.component.object.ZCObject; 
import com.zc.component.object.ZCRowObject; 
import com.zc.component.object.ZCTable; 
```

```java
 //Create a base Object Instance 
ZCObject object = ZCObject.getInstance(); 
//Get a Table Instance referring the tableID on base object 
ZCTable tab = object.getTable("1510000000110121"); 
//Create a row instance 
ZCRowObject row = ZCRowObject.getInstance(); 
//Set the required column values using set() method on the row instance 
row.set("Name","George Smith"); 
row.set("Age", 25); 
//Add the single row to table by calling insertRow() method 
tab.insertRow(row);

```

### Insert Multiple rows

You can insert multiple rows in a table by constructing a list of row objects and passing it as an argument to the `insertRows()` method as shown below.

#### Sample Code Snippet 

**Package Imports**

```java
import com.zc.component.object.ZCObject;
import com.zc.component.object.ZCRowObject; 
import com.zc.component.object.ZCTable; 
```

```java
 //Create a List of RowObjects 
List rows = new ArrayList(); 
//Create a base Object Instance 
ZCObject object = ZCObject.getInstance(); 
//Get a Table Instance referring the tableID on base object 
ZCTable tab = object.getTable(1510000000110121L); 
//Create required number of row instances 
ZCRowObject row1 = ZCRowObject.getInstance();
ZCRowObject row2 = ZCRowObject.getInstance(); 
//Set the column values on the respective rows using set() method 
row1.set("Name","George Smith"); 
row1.set("Age", 25); 
row2.set("Name","Moana Violet"); 
row2.set("Age", 22); 
//Add rows to List using add() method 
rows.add(row1); 
rows.add(row2); 
//Add the list to table using insertRows() method 
tab.insertRows(rows);

```
