The existing docs have 254 findings from our shared Vale rules. Contributors would otherwise inherit these when editing the same lines. Clean up the prose across 80 pages: correct product names and a repeated word, simplify a few phrases, and replace dashes with punctuation that fits each sentence. The pinned Vale scan now reports zero findings, with no suppressions.

```sql
|
|
INSERT INTO documents (id, title) VALUES (1, 'Merlin'), (2, 'Arthur')
|
|
|
|
INSERT INTO archive SELECT * FROM documents WHERE created_at < '2026-01-01'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`INSERT ... SELECT` is the form worth knowing: it moves rows between tables
|
|
server-side, without a round trip through your process.
|
|
|
|
Commits a new table version, so [versioning](/management/table#versioning) and
|
|
the [write guarantees](/basics/guarantees#writes) apply, including that the
|
|
version advances even when the statement affects zero rows.
