Spring boot jdbc: Insert entity using SimpleJdbcInsert

Step 1: Instantiate SimpleJdbcInsert object.

SimpleJdbcInsert simpleJdbcInsert = new SimpleJdbcInsert(jdbcTemplate);

Step 2: Set table and columns names to simpleJdbcInsert object.

List<String> columns = Arrays.asList("id", "first_name", "last_name");

simpleJdbcInsert.setTableName("employees");

simpleJdbcInsert.setColumnNames(columns);

Step 3: Create data.

Map<String, Object> data = new HashMap<>();

data.put("id", emp.getId());

data.put("first_name", emp.getFirstName());

data.put("last_name", emp.getLastName());

Step 4: Insert data by calling execute method.

int affectedRows = simpleJdbcInsert.execute(data);
