//! Example: Insert data with expressions
//!
//! This example demonstrates how to:
//! - Push down computations to Hyper during data insertion using expressions
//! - Transform data types during insertion (e.g., text to timestamp)
//! - Use CASE expressions to compute values
//! - Use column mappings with SQL expressions
//!
//! This is a Rust port of the C++ example `insert_data_with_expressions.cpp`.
//!
//! Run with: cargo run -p hyperdb-api --example `insert_data_with_expressions`
