## Reference
### `from()`
<FromFunction verb='post' />
### `insert()`
```js {3}
supabase
.from(tableName)
.insert(data, options?)
```
#### `data: { array | object }`
A single `object` or an array of rows of type `object` which contain information to be saved into the selected table.
#### `options: object?`
```js
const options = {
upsert: false // Set to true to allow upserting.
}
```
For `upsert`, if set to `true`, primary key columns would need to be included in the `data` parameter in order for an update to properly happen.
Also, primary keys used must be natural, not surrogate.
There are however, [workarounds](https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest/issues/1118) for surrogate primary keys.
