+
+## Generated SQL Examples
+
+### PostgreSQL
+
+```sql
+INSERT INTO users (id, name, email, age, updated_at)
+VALUES ($1, $2, $3, $4, $5)
+RETURNING *
+```
+
+### MySQL
+
+```sql
+INSERT INTO users (id, name, email, age, updated_at)
+VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?)
+
+SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?
+```
+
+### With Specific Returning Fields (PostgreSQL)
+
+```sql
+INSERT INTO users (id, name, email, age, updated_at)
+VALUES ($1, $2, $3, $4, $5)
+RETURNING id, name, email, created_at
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### 1. Use TypeScript for Type Safety
+
+```typescript
+interface CreateUserRequest {
+  name: string
+  email: string
+  age: number
+  bio?: string
+}
+
+interface User {
+  id: string
+  name: string
+  email: string
+  age: number
+  bio?: string
+  created_at: Date
+  updated_at: Date
+}
+
+const createUser = async (userData: CreateUserRequest): Promise<User> => {
+  return insert<CreateUserRequest, User>({
+    tableName: 'users',
+    dbClient,
+    data: userData,
+  })
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Validate Data Before Insertion
+
+```typescript
+const createUser = async (userData: any) => {
+  // Validate required fields
+  if (!userData.name || !userData.email) {
+    throw new Error('Name and email are required')
+  }
+
+  // Validate email format
+  const emailRegex = /^[^\s@]+@[^\s@]+\.[^\s@]+$/
+  if (!emailRegex.test(userData.email)) {
+    throw new Error('Invalid email format')
+  }
+
+  // Validate age
+  if (userData.age && (userData.age < 0 || userData.age > 150)) {
+    throw new Error('Age must be between 0 and 150')
+  }
+
+  return insert({
+    tableName: 'users',
+    dbClient,
+    data: userData,
+  })
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Handle Duplicate Key Errors
+
+```typescript
+const createUser = async (userData: any) => {
+  try {
+    return await insert({
+      tableName: 'users',
+      dbClient,
+      data: userData,
+    })
+  } catch (error) {
+    if (
+      error.message.includes('duplicate key') ||
+      error.message.includes('UNIQUE constraint')
+    ) {
+      throw new Error('User with this email already exists')
+    }
+    throw error
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Use Specific Returning Fields
+
+```typescript
+// Good: Return only needed fields
+const user = await insert({
+  tableName: 'users',
+  dbClient,
+  data: userData,
+  returning: ['id', 'name', 'email', 'created_at'],
+})
+
+// Avoid: Returning all fields when not needed
+const user = await insert({
+  tableName: 'users',
+  dbClient,
+  data: userData,
+})
+```
+
+### 5. Sanitize Input Data
+
+```typescript
+const sanitizeUserData = (data: any) => {
+  return {
+    name: data.name?.trim(),
+    email: data.email?.toLowerCase().trim(),
+    age: data.age ? parseInt(data.age) : undefined,
+    bio: data.bio?.trim(),
+  }
+}
+
+const createUser = async (rawData: any) => {
+  const sanitizedData = sanitizeUserData(rawData)
+
+  return insert({
+    tableName: 'users',
+    dbClient,
+    data: sanitizedData,
+  })
+}
+```
+
+## Common Use Cases
+
+### 1. User Registration
+
+```typescript
+const registerUser = async (registrationData: {
+  name: string
+  email: string
+  password: string
+  age?: number
+}) => {
+  // Hash password before storing
+  const hashedPassword = await hashPassword(registrationData.password)
+
+  const user = await insert({
+    tableName: 'users',
+    dbClient,
+    data: {
+      name: registrationData.name,
+      email: registrationData.email,
+      password: hashedPassword,
+      age: registrationData.age,
+      status: 'pending',
+      verification_token: generateVerificationToken(),
+    },
+    returning: ['id', 'name', 'email', 'status', 'created_at'],
+  })
+
+  // Send verification email
+  await sendVerificationEmail(user.email, user.verification_token)
+
+  return user
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Creating Related Records
+
+```typescript
+const createUserWithProfile = async (userData: any, profileData: any) => {
+  // Create user first
+  const user = await insert({
+    tableName: 'users',
+    dbClient,
+    data: userData,
+    returning: ['id'],
+  })
+
+  // Create user profile
+  const profile = await insert({
+    tableName: 'user_profiles',
+    dbClient,
+    data: {
+      ...profileData,
+      user_id: user.id,
+    },
+  })
+
+  return { user, profile }
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Audit Trail
+
+```typescript
+const createAuditLog = async (action: string, userId: string, details: any) => {
+  return insert({
+    tableName: 'audit_logs',
+    dbClient,
+    data: {
+      action,
+      user_id: userId,
+      details: JSON.stringify(details),
+      ip_address: details.ipAddress,
+      user_agent: details.userAgent,
+      timestamp: new Date(),
+    },
+  })
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Configuration Management
+
+```typescript
+const createConfiguration = async (
+  key: string,
+  value: any,
+  description?: string
+) => {
+  return insert({
+    tableName: 'configurations',
+    dbClient,
+    data: {
+      key,
+      value: JSON.stringify(value),
+      description,
+      is_active: true,
+    },
+  })
+}
+```
+
+## Database-Specific Considerations
+
+### PostgreSQL
+
+- Uses `RETURNING` clause for efficient data retrieval
+- Supports complex data types (JSON, arrays, etc.)
+- Better performance with `RETURNING` clause
+
+### MySQL
+
+- Requires separate `SELECT` query after `INSERT`
+- Good performance for simple inserts
+- Limited support for complex data types
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+### 1. Index Impact
+
+```sql
+-- Ensure proper indexes exist for unique constraints
+CREATE UNIQUE INDEX idx_users_email ON users(email);
+CREATE INDEX idx_users_created_at ON users(created_at);
+```
+
+### 2. Batch Operations
+
+For multiple inserts, consider using `insertMany` instead:
+
+```typescript
+// Good: Use insertMany for multiple records
+const users = await insertMany({
+  tableName: 'users',
+  dbClient,
+  data: [
+    { name: 'John', email: 'john@example.com' },
+    { name: 'Jane', email: 'jane@example.com' },
+  ],
+})
+
+// Avoid: Multiple individual inserts
+for (const userData of usersData) {
+  await insert({ tableName: 'users', dbClient, data: userData })
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Connection Pooling
+
+Ensure your database client is properly configured with connection pooling for better performance in high-traffic applications.
+
+## Error Messages
+
+Common error messages you might encounter:
+
