Question

I need to create a stored procedure to do the following;

    SELECT * FROM TABLE1

Then for each row returned;

    INSERT INTO TABLE2 (column1, column2, column3,...) 
    VALUES (value1, value2, value3,...)

How would I go about doing this?

UPDATE **

So based on responses so far I’ve got the following sql;

INSERT INTO recEntrantStatus (entrantId, roundId, judgeId)
SELECT entrantId, judgeId
FROM recEntrantStatus
WHERE roundId = 0
AND voted = true
AND enterNextround = true

But I need to add a fixed value eg an input @round into the newly created records in the column roundId.

How do I go about doing that?

Thanks.

————————————- UPDATE 2 ——————————————-

So thanks to some significant help from you guys, I’ve now got the following SQL which works great at this stage:

  INSERT INTO recEntrantStatus (entrantId, roundId, judgeId, notified, voted, enterNextRound)
  SELECT entrantId, (@round + 1), judgeId, 0, 0, 0
  FROM recEntrantStatus
  WHERE roundId = @round
  AND voted = 1
  AND enterNextround = 1

This code checks for all records where ‘enterNextRound’ is true, and then creates a new record for each of them.

However, I now need to expand this so that:

A) Check a second table(tblJudges) for all judges and get an array of all the judges Id’s (Id)

B) Do the same as in the above example except now creating each of the above records for each of the judges / judges Id’s obtained from step A.

Any help / suggestions would as always be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Answer 1

CREATE PROCEDURE myProcedure
AS
    INSERT INTO table2 (col1, col2, col3)
    SELECT      col1, col2, col3
    FROM        table1
GO

Or something similar should work. SQL Server allows you to perform an INSERT directly from a SELECT statement.

Note that this really doesn’t need to be a stored procedure unless there’s more going in to it (business logic or conditions you want static across all implementations).

Update

CREATE PROCEDURE myprocedure @roundId DECIMAL(5,2)
AS
  INSERT INTO   recEntrantStatus
               (entrantId, roundId, judgeId)
  SELECT        entrantId, roundId, judgeId
  FROM          recEntrantStatus
  WHERE         roundId = @roundId
    AND         voted = 1
    AND         enterNextRound = 1
GO
