Question

I have a procedure that requires a string as input

CREATE PROCEDURE testing(MYVAR VARCHAR) AS
BEGIN
  INSERT INTO mytable VALUES ( (SELECT id FROM articles), MYVAR );  --WRONG

The insert query is wrong, basically the table mytable has only 2 fields:

idarticles | variable

With the subquery I wanna select all the article ID and insert them as a pair with the MYVAR arg.

How can I do that?
Thanks

Try this:

  INSERT INTO mytable (idarticles,variable)
    SELECT id, myvar FROM articles

It’s the same as including any other variable or constant, or literal in your SELECT statement:

 SELECT 100, 'Foo', ID FROM Customer
