look at the first result

insert is the DML statement which is same as databse.insert. However, database.insert gives more flexibility like rollback, default assignment rules etc. we can achieve the database.insert behavior in insert by using the method setOptions(Database.DMLOptions)

 

Important Difference:

    If we use the DML statement (insert), then in bulk operation if error occurs, the execution will stop and Apex code throws an error which can be handled in try catch block.
    If DML database methods (Database.insert) used, then if error occurs the remaining records will be inserted / updated means partial DML operation will be done.

 

Thanks,

Anil

1.If we use the DML statement (insert), then in bulk operation if error occurs, the execution will stop. In that case Apex code throws an error and none of the record is inserted to the database.
 
2.If DML database methods (Database.insert) used, then if error occurs the remaining records will be inserted / updated means partial DML operation will be done. The only record throwing an error will not be inserted / updated.
 
So you should use Database.insert in any bulk dml operation if you are not monitoring the code properly.

insert will call direct dml operation for record/s and fail the whole operation in case any single record failed to insert.

 

In case of database.insert it accept second parameter to create difference than just insert call.

 

Second parameter decide whether rest of records should be inserted if any record failed to insert.

 

Let me know if you get it or not.
