Question

greetings all
I want to insert 70 records in a table
the values are value1,value2,…value70
and I was wondering if it’s possible to accomplish this through a SQL query
I am using postgresql db.
thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Where do the values come from? Are they arbtrary values? Just use a multiple insert statement, like:

INSERT INTO t (colname) VALUES ('value1'), ('value2'), ..., ('value70');

Are they values that can be generated from the integers 1 to 70? If so, use the set returning function generate_series:

INSERT INTO t (colname) SELECT 'value'||i FROM generate_series(1,70) AS s(i);

Are they just in some other table? Just reference it normally:

INSERT INTO t (colname) SELECT val FROM othert;
