If this is a Custom Post Type using Table-based storage, you will need to insert rows into:
wp_posts
wp_pods_yourcpt
(wp_ would be your table prefix)
You only have to insert rows into wp_pods_yourcpt if you have custom fields in that table that you want to set.
If you have relationships, you would insert those into wp_podsrel.
Does this clarify everything for you?

Thanks for quick reply.
This is Custom Post type and usin Table-based storage and it have only custom fields.
So should this work without inserting the rows ALSO to wp_posts? Or do I have to add the same rows also to wp_posts?
What I want to do is make own table (different from wp_posts table) for about 70.000 rows. And then make listings from these rows.
I don´t like to add them to wp_post, because this data will be updated daily and it is not good to do so in wp_posts table…
wp_posts has all of the core post information including ID, post_title, post_content, post_name, post_status, and post_type.
You’ll need to ensure you have at minimal a row for each record in wp_posts,
Then for the table-based custom fields, you would add ONE row per record into your wp_pods_yourcpt table using the ID from wp_posts to match them up.
If you intended to have a table entirely outside of the WordPress posts table, you would want to enable the Advanced Content Type component from Pods Admin > Components and then create an Advanced Content Type.
Note: Advanced Content Types do not have normal templating in WordPress like post types get.
This comparison might help: https://docs.pods.io/creating-editing-pods/compare-content-types/
