||
You can use `INSERT` to insert data in the table. New elements will be added to the data set, while duplicates will be ignored.

Data is always located in RAM. For `INSERT`, the blocks of inserted data are also written to the directory of tables on the disk. When starting the server, this data is loaded to RAM. In other words, after restarting, the data remains in place.
