Inserting data using HandlerSocket and Ruby


Now that we can read data (as described in the previous recipe), it's time to learn how to insert data using Ruby.

Getting ready

Complete the Reading data using HandlerSocket and Ruby recipe described earlier in this chapter prior to starting this recipe.
