## Class Inserter

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    `java.lang.AutoCloseable`

      public final class Inserter
      extends java.lang.Object
      implements java.lang.AutoCloseable

  An inserter.

  Used to insert data into existing tables in hyper. The insertion happens row by row. Inside one row, all the columns have to be added sequentially in the right order. Note: While this resource is open, the connection is busy.

  Use the add methods such as `add(int)` to set values for all the columns of a row. After inserting a complete row, call `endRow()`. After ending the last row, call `execute()` to finalize the insert. Calling `close()` instead discards all inserted data.

  This is an `AutoCloseable` class since it maintains native resources. The inserter must always be closed when it is no longer needed. The best way to guarantee this is to use a try-with-resources block.

    - #### Inserter

          public Inserter​(Connection connection,
                          TableName name,
                          java.util.List<Inserter.ColumnMapping> columnMappings,
                          java.util.List<TableDefinition.Column> inserterDefinition)

      Creates an inserter for an existing table. Note: SQL expression provided during insertion are used without any modification during insertion and hence vulnerable to SQL injection attacks. Applications must prevent end-users from providing expressions directly during insertion

      Consider the following pseudo-code on how to transform or compute values on the fly during insertion: TableDefinition : [TableName="example", Columns=["ColumnA" as INT, "ColumnB" as BIG_INT]] ColumnMapping : [[Name: "ColumnA"], [Name:"ColumnB", Expression:"ColumnA"*"ColumnC"]] InserterDefinition : ["ColumnA" integer, "ColumnC" integer]

      Notice that "ColumnA" does not specify an expression and "ColumnB" is a product of "ColumnA" and "ColumnC", but "ColumnC" is not part of the table. The InserterDefinition contains "ColumnA" and "ColumnC" "ColumnA" since it is not computed on the fly and has to be provided to the inserter "ColumnC" since it is specified in the SQL expression that computes "ColumnB" on the fly

      try (Inserter inserter(conn, "example", columnMapping, inserterDefinition)) { inserter.add(2).add(3).endRow(); inserter.execute(); } The insertion code snippet above inserts 2 into "ColumnA" and 6 into "ColumnB" (product of 2 and 3)

      Parameters:
        `connection` - The connection to the Hyper instance containing the table.
        `name` - The name of the table into which data is inserted
        `columnMappings` - The set of columns in which to insert. The columns have to exist in the table. The columnMappings cannot be empty. Columns not present in columMappings will be set to their default value. A columnMapping can optionally contain a valid SQL expression. The SQL expression specified for the column is used to transform or compute values on the fly during insertion. The SQL expression can depend on columns that exist in the table. The SQL expression can also depend on values or columns that do not exist in the table, but must be specified in the `inserterDefinition`.
        `inserterDefinition` - The definition of columns to which values are provided. The column definition for all the columns without SQL expression must be specified in `inserterDefinition` For a column without SQL expression the column definition provided in `inserterDefinition` must match the actual definition of the column in the table All columns that SQL expressions specified in `columnMappings` must be in `inserterDefinition`
      Throws:
        `HyperException` - When creating the inserter fails.

                          java.util.List<Inserter.ColumnMapping> columnMappings,
                          java.util.List<TableDefinition.Column> inserterDefinition)

      Creates an inserter for an existing table. Note: SQL expression provided during insertion are used without any modification during insertion and hence vulnerable to SQL injection attacks. Applications must prevent end-users from providing expressions directly during insertion

      Notice that "ColumnA" does not specify an expression and "ColumnB" is a product of "ColumnA" and "ColumnC", but "ColumnC" is not part of the table. The InserterDefinition contains "ColumnA" and "ColumnC" "ColumnA" since it is not computed on the fly and has to be provided to the inserter "ColumnC" since it is specified in the SQL expression that computes "ColumnB" on the fly

      try (Inserter inserter(conn, "example", columnMapping, inserterDefinition)) { inserter.add(2).add(3).endRow(); inserter.execute(); } The insertion code snippet above inserts 2 into "ColumnA" and 6 into "ColumnB" (product of 2 and 3)

      Parameters:
        `connection` - The connection to the Hyper instance containing the table.
        `tableDefinition` - The table definition for the table into which the data is inserted.
        `columnMappings` - The set of columns in which to insert. The columns have to exist in the table. The columnMappings cannot be empty. Columns not present in columMappings will be set to their default value. A columnMapping can optionally contain a valid SQL expression. The SQL expression specified for the column is used to transform or compute values on the fly during insertion. The SQL expression can depend on columns that exist in the table. The SQL expression can also depend on values or columns that do not exist in the table, but must be specified in the `inserterDefinition`.
        `inserterDefinition` - The definition of columns to which values are provided. The column definition for all the columns without SQL expression must be specified in `inserterDefinition`. For a column without SQL expression the column definition provided in `inserterDefinition` must match the actual definition of the column in the table. All columns that SQL expressions specified in `columnMappings` must be in `inserterDefinition`.
      Throws:
        `HyperException` - When creating the inserter fails.

      Sets the current TIMESTAMP or TIMESTAMPTZ field to the given value.

      The arguments specify a date-time in UTC. The value is stored as is for TIMESTAMP columns and stored as UTC for TIMESTAMPTZ columns.

      Calling the method advances the current field.

      Parameters:
        `year` - The year. To specify BC dates, you must convert the BC year to a negative year (e.g., 10 BC = -9).

    - #### endRow

          public Inserter endRow()

      Advances the inserter to the next row.

      May cause the inserter to send data over the connection. You must call this, even for the last row before closing the inserter; otherwise, close() will throw an exception.

      Returns:
        Inserter For method chaining.
      Throws:
        `HyperException` - When a failure occurs sending the data to Hyper.
