Insert()

This method inserts data into a specified collection.

Invocation

client.Insert(ctx, collName, partName, data)

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Type
ctx	Context to control API invocation process	context.Context
collName	Name of the collection to insert data into	String
partName	Name of the partition to insert data into. Data will be inserted into default partition if it is left empty.	String
data	Data to insert in each field. Data must be converted into columns for different fields.	Variadic slice of entity.Column

Return

Entity.Column that represents the IDs of the inserted data.

Errors

err: error in the process (if any). Possible errors are listed below:

• ErrClientNotReady, error that the client is not connected.

• ErrCollectionNotExists, error that the collection with the specified name does not exist.

• error that the specified field is not valid.

• error that API invocation failed.

Example

bookIDs := make([]int64, 0, 2000)
wordCounts := make([]int64, 0, 2000)
bookIntros := make([][]float32, 0, 2000)
for i := 0; i < 2000; i++ {
    bookIDs = append(bookIDs, int64(i))
    wordCounts = append(wordCounts, int64(i+10000))
    v := make([]float32, 0, 2)
    for j := 0; j < 2; j++ {
        v = append(v, rand.Float32())
    }
    bookIntros = append(bookIntros, v)
}
idColumn := entity.NewColumnInt64("book_id", bookIDs)
wordColumn := entity.NewColumnInt64("word_count", wordCounts)
introColumn := entity.NewColumnFloatVector("book_intro", 2, bookIntros)
_, err = milvusClient.Insert(
    context.Background(),
    "book",
    "",
    idColumn,
    wordColumn,
    introColumn,
)
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal("failed to insert data:", err.Error())
