INSERT INTO countries VALUES('C1','India',1001);

Let execute the above code in MySQL command prompt.

mysql> SELECT * FROM countries;
+------------+--------------+-----------+
| COUNTRY_ID | COUNTRY_NAME | REGION_ID |
+------------+--------------+-----------+
| C1         | India        |      1001 |
+------------+--------------+-----------+
