Database.saversult() result=Data Insert(SObject()); --->The following example that inserts a new invoice statement by calling insert and if we execute in the 'Developer console" that creates a record into the database. Invoice_Statements_c Inv=new Invoice_statement_c(Description)c='capital info solutions'); Insert Inv ---> Inserting the invoice using DML.
