2. Database Connectivity 2 - Insert records in table

• Write a script that inserts multiple rows (representing various items) at a time in a table ITEMS. Do not use a loop.

Hint: Use the following data and create a list:

101; Nik D300; Nik D300; DSLR Camera; 3

102; Can 1300; Can 1300; DSLR Camera; 5

103; gPhone 135; gPhone 135; Mobile; 10

104; Mic canvas; Mic canvas; Tab; 5

105; SnDisk 10T; SnDisk 10T; Hard Drive; 1

• Use the list to insert records in the ITEMS table.

• Use the 'Test against custom input' box to output the result for debugging. Use 'print(res) to display the output.

Expected Output:

[(101, 'Nik D300', 'Nik D300', 'DSLR Camera', 3), (102, 'Can 1300', 'Can 1300', 'DSLR Camera', 5), (103, 'gPhone 13S', 'gPhone 13S', 'Mobile', 10), (104, 'Mic canvas', 'Mic canvas', 'Tab', 5), (105, 'SnDisk 10T', 'SnDisk 10T', 'Hard Drive', 1)]
