A format is one of '%d', '%f', '%s' (integer, float, string). If omitted, all values in $data will be treated as strings unless otherwise specified in wpdb::$field_types.

Default value: null

(string) (Optional) Type of operation. Possible values include 'INSERT' or 'REPLACE'.

Default value: 'INSERT'
