How?

Can't figure this out:

We have an eCommerce database and it has a products table. It has the columns id, name, description and price. Add a new product to the products table. Use any valid values you want. All columns are required. The id column is auto incrementing.

You will use an INSERT INTO statement

INSERT INTO table_name (column1, column2, column3, ...)
VALUES (value1, value2, value3, ...);

note: you don't have to include ID since it is auto-incrementing
