Inserting a single row with an insert() statement

There are several ways to perform an insert with SQLAlchemy; however, we are going to focus on the one that follows the same pattern as the select statement.

It uses an insert statement where you specify the table as an argument, and supply the data you wish to insert into the value via the .values() method as keyword arguments.

Here, the name of the table is data.

Import insert and select from the sqlalchemy module.
Build an insert statement for the data table to set name to 'Anna', count to 1, amount to 1000.00, and valid to True. Save the statement as stmt.
Execute stmt with the connection and store the results.
Print the rowcount attribute of results to see how many records were inserted.
Build a select statement to query for the record with the name of Anna.
Hit 'Submit Answer' to print the results of executing the select statement.
