Question

I am trying to insert a set of records into a table using

Insert into tbl1 Select * from tbl

One of the records failed due to check constrain in tbl1. But i want to insert the other records which have passed the check constraint and others i want to catch them as exception. Could someone please help.

Answer 1

In that case, you need to be more selective about your SELECT – exclude those rows that are trouble from your selection:

INSERT INTO dbo.tbl1(Col1, Col2, ...., ColN)
   SELECT Col1, Col2, ....., ColN
   FROM dbo.tbl
   WHERE (some condition here to exclude those rows that don't match the `CHECK` constraint.....)
