Insert entity
Inserts a row to a SQL Server table using data from an entity.
Logically, this action performs the following:
INSERT INTO tableName (Property1, Property2) VALUES(entity.Property1, enity.Property2)
Note
Each property name in the entity must exist in the target table. If the database collation is case sensitive, the properties and columns must match by case in addition to name.
