Question

Hi guys basically I have a query that select all the clientId where the flagId = 6

which is:

SELECT clientId from ClientsFlags WHERE flagId = 6;

Now I want to take the results from this query and create a new record for the each of the results obtained in the select statement

INSERT INTO clientFlags clientId, flagId VALUES('The client ID's that were obtained in the select query', 42);

What is the best way to combine these statements?

Answer 1

You can use the INSERT … SELECT syntax

INSERT INTO clientFlags (clientId, flagId) 
    SELECT clientId, 42 
    FROM ClientsFlags 
    WHERE flagId = 6;

Something like this, I haven’t test it for syntax errors
