mappedValues

Extension function of InsertBuilder allowing to specify values as columns/value pairs instead of a Map.

Example usage:

insertInto("user") {
    columns("id", "name", "birthDate")
    mappedValues("id" to 1, "name" to "John Doe")
}

This is equivalent to

insertInto("user") {
    columns("id", "name", "birthDate")
    values(mapOf("id" to 1, "name" to "John Doe"))
}

but is a bit shorter. Beware to NOT use

insertInto("user") {
    columns("id", "name", "birthDate")
    values("id" to 1, "name" to "John Doe")
}

because that would try to insert the Pairs themselves into the table, rather than the values of the pairs.

Parameters

Return
the Insert Builder for chaining (although that is usually not necessary with the Kotlin DSL)
