Question

I have a query that is returning a different amount of user_id‘s each time it’s run (based on the number of subscribers).

What I need to do is insert each of these user_id results into separate rows within a table along with a simple message of “new alert” in a separate column.

How could I possibly go about doing this? Would a for each loop work in this situation?

Answer 1

Try this:

INSERT INTO alert_table SELECT user_id, 'new alert' FROM ... WHERE ...

Use your own query, just prepend it with the INSERT INTO alert_table clause.
