what's the difference between SELECT INTO and INSERT INTO.
because when I insert value into a temp table using this two function, Select into runa 3 times faster compare to insert into.
does anyone know what's the reason for this.
Thank You,
John
I'm doing a INSERT...SELECT where I'm dependent on the records SELECT:ed to be in a certain order. This order is enforced through a clustered index on that table - I can see that they are in the proper order by doing just the SELECT part.
However, when I do the INSERT, it doesn't work (nothing is inserted) - can the order of the records from the SELECT part be changed internally on their way to the INSERT part, so to speak?
Actually - it is a view that I'm inserting into, and there's an instead-of-insert trigger on it that does the actual insertions into the base table. I've added a "PRINT" statement to the trigger code and there's just ONE record printed (there should be millions).
I want to add the content of a table into anotherI tried to copy all fields, except the primary key:INSERT INTO table2(field2, field3, field4, ...)SELECT field2, field3, field4, ...FROM anotherDB.dbo.table1gives the following error:Violation of UNIQUE KEY constraint...Cannot insert duplicate key...Why?I didn't ask him to copy the key column; Isn't the SQL Server supposedto know how to increment the key ?

-- Problem:

-- Insert should aquire only exclusive rowlock. Why does insert block select with ( updlock, rowlock )?

I am attempting to use a SQL statement that I shameless stole from "Using Microsoft SQL Server 6.5 Second Edition" and am failing miserably. I want to use the statement

Hi,
I'm trying to use a select statement to retrieve a value and then use this value in an insert. I've written the entire code inside a stored proc. Darn thing refuses to work. Please help

Hi,
I have a table consisting of a primary key (ID) and some fields. I want to (from an ASP page) insert some data entered by a user from the table, and then retrieve the ID from the record that was just inserted. Then that ID will be used in another table to tie the two tables together. How do I write the SQL to do this?
thanks,

if i have an existing table table2 and i want to copy the rows corresponding to : where mycol='myvalue' in table1 to the existing table table2, but table 2 has a column_id and scope identity.
Runing just: insert into table2 select * from table1 mycol='myvalue' gives me the error:
An explicit value for the identity column in table 'statventebck' can only be specified when a column list is used and IDENTITY_INSERT is ON.
so what should i do to exclude the scope id column
or what should i do to make my command work
Thank you

Hi guys, I have the following problem :
I have basically 3 tables, Customer, Car and Rental. Customer is composed of Customer_Id and Customer_Name. Car is composed of Car_Id and Make. And to finish Rental is composed of R_Id (primary key), Customer_Id, Car_Id and Number_Days.
Ok, what I've been trying to do is to add a new field in Rental (using only 1 SQL Statement). Car_Id, Number_Days, and Customer_Name are given. So I tried :
INSERT INTO RENTAL (Customer_Id, Car_Id, Number_Days)
VALUES ((SELECT DISTINCT Customer.Costumer_Id From Costumer, Rental WHERE Rental.Costumer_Id=Costumer.Costumer_Id AND Costumer_Name="Müller"), 5, 4);
But then I got an error message. So I tried it again without VALUES
INSERT INTO RENTAL (Customer_Id, Car_Id, Number_Days)
SELECT (SELECT DISTINCT Customer.Costumer_Id FROM Costumer, Rental WHERE Rental.Costumer_Id=Costumer.Costumer_Id AND Costumer_Name="Müller"), 5, 4
FROM Rental;
But then more than 70 rows were added to the table. So I tried again :
INSERT INTO RENTAL (Customer_Id, Car_Id, Number_Days)
SELECT DISTINCT (SELECT DISTINCT Customer.Costumer_Id FROM Costumer, Rental WHERE Rental.Costumer_Id=Costumer.Costumer_Id AND Costumer_Name="Müller"), 5, 4
FROM Rental;
This time I could accomplish what I originally wanted but I still believe that there is an easier way to do this, right ? Could someone please help me ?
Thank you very much and cheers from Switzerland

Hi. I have 3 tables:
Table1: AccountInfo
AccountInfoID bigint <-- primary key
AccountNumber char
PostingDate datetime
TransactionReferenceNumber char
SequenceNumber numeric
Table2: LodgingSummary
LodgingSummaryID bigint
AccountInfoID bigint <-- foreign key
LoadTransactionCode tinyint
NoShowIndicator decimal
CheckInDate datetime
DailyRoomRate decimal
TotalOtherCharges decimal
Table3: Load_LodgingSummary
LodgingSummaryID bigint
LoadTransactionCode tinyint
AccountNumber varchar
PostingDate datetime
TransactionReferenceNumber varchar
SequenceNumber numeric
NoShowIndicator numeric
CheckInDate datetime
DailyRoomRate numeric
TotalOtherCharges numeric
I need to insert the AccountInfoID from AccountInfo along with LodgingSummaryID, LoadTransactionCode, NoShowIndicator, CheckInDate, DailyRoomRate, TotalOtherCharges from Load_LodgingSummary into the LodgingSummary table (which will be empty from the start).
I have devised the following query:
set identity_insert LodgingSummary on
insert into LodgingSummary
(
LodgingSummaryID,
AccountInfoID,
LoadTransactionCode,
NoShowIndicator,
CheckInDate,
DailyRoomRate,
TotalOtherCharges
)
select
LodgingSummaryID,
(select min(ai.AccountInfoID) from AccountInfo ai where ai.AccountInfoID not exists (select AccountInfoID from LodgingSummary l where l.AccountInfoID= ai.AccountInfoID)) as AccountInfoID,
LoadTransactionCode,
NoShowIndicator,
CheckInDate,
DailyRoomRate,
TotalOtherCharges,
TotalTaxAmount
from Load_LodgingSummary
set identity_insert lodgingsummary off
When I run the query, I only get the first AccountInfoID from AccountInfo. The data in LodgingSummary looks like (table shortened for brevity):
LodgingSummaryID AccountInfoID LoadTransactionCode
1 1 4
2 1 4
3 1 4
4 1 4
etc...I want LodgingSummary to look like:LodgingSummaryID AccountInfoID LoadTransactionCode
1 1 4
2 2 4
3 3 4
4 4 4
etc...

Hi,
Can someone tell me if it is possible to do an SQL insert with a select (to copy specific records) query and specify the value for a specific field to insert in the new records instead of using the value in the field in the select statement.
If so can you provide me with a simple example.

Good Day,
I am passing some XML into a stored procedure:
<answers> <answer id="60" text="" /> <answer id="65" text="A moderate form of learning disability" /> <answer id="68" text="We will keep ASD checked" /> <answer id="70" text="" /> </answers>
Along with a memberid and questionid.
I was wondering how I can get this into a table CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Answers](
[PrimaryKeyID] [int] NOT NULL,
[MemberID] [int] NOT NULL,
[QuestionID] [int] NOT NULL,
[AnswerID] [int] NOT NULL,
[FreText] [varchar](255) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NULL

Select
@MemID,
@QuesID,
'somexpathforanswer',
'somexpathfortext' -- if empty then NULL
