 * If you are getting an error, you might list that error so someone might be able
   to help you.
 * Also assuming that you have the ‘xxx_ticket’ table in your WordPress database.
   The ‘xxx_’ would be the $table_prefix in your `wp-config.php` file.
 * If you are using a plugin, please report a link to that plugin as well.

 * No there is no error displayed, on Database table name is wp_table and prefix
   on wp-config.php is “wp_”
    I am creating a new plugin so stuk on inserting records
   can you please tell me what all is needed for simple insert.

 * Use the following codes
    $table_name = $wpdb->prefix . “ticket”; $wpdb->query(“
   INSERT INTO $table_name (CompanyName, CustomerName) VALUES(‘test1′,’test 2’)”);
