Save an entry in the database.

Exception handling is shown in this example. It could be simplified without the try/catch blocks, but since an insert will throw an exception and terminate your application if the exception is not handled, it is best to employ try/catch.

Parameters

array $entry: An array containing all the fields of the database record.

Return value

int The number of updated rows.

Throws

\Exception When the database insert fails.
