Question

I have a table employee1 and employee2 where I would like to insert data from one table to another using select based on a condition such as

INSERT INTO EMPNO, EMPNAME, EMPAGE, EMPSALARY, EMPDESIGNATION SELECT
EMPNO, EMPNAME, 0, ”, EMPDESIGNATION WHERE EMPID=25

This is what I want to achieve as there are some values which i don’t want to supply because they are default or for some other reason but this is not allowed.

Can you tell me how can I achieve this

Answer 1

INSERT INTO employee2
           (EMPNO, EMPNAME, EMPAGE, EMPSALARY, EMPDESIGNATION)
     SELECT EMPNO, EMPNAME, 0, '', EMPDESIGNATION
       FROM employee1
      WHERE EMPID=25;

You can specify the columns you want to provide values for, and then provide values for only those columns.
