+An example of the same except in which the `num` field is to be used as the record's ID. In this case, it can be mapped with the [`array::map()`](/docs/surrealql/functions/database/array#arraymap) function to rename `num` as `id` so that the following `CONTENT` clause does not create both a `num` and an `id` with the same value.
