Why do none of the PHP & MySQL courses talk about how to use insert and update using PDO?

There are two courses on how to use PDO with PHP to access MySQL, but neither of them discuss how to do inserts and updates using PDO, only select queries. Is there a reason for that?

Thanks!

Because the main focus of the course is using PDO and it's methods. Inserts and updates are just different types of queries. You learn about that in database foundations.
