Question

I want to enter 100 transactions into a sql server DB that have the same address and phone number but a different name.
Thanks

Ok lots of negative reaction from the happy people so

I want to insert 100 transaction all the same name & address but different PO box. so my insert would look something like this .

Insert into PEOPLE (PO_BOX, NAME , ADDRESS) 
VALUES ('100501', 'MICHAEL COLLINS', 'MBEAL NA BLATH')

How can I do this while keeping the same name and address but incrementing the po box from 100501 to 100600 . The po box is not the primary key as there is already an index key.

THanks

If your names are stored in another table then you can do the following:

insert into test (id, name, address, phonenumber)
select id, name, '123 test dr', '12345678'
from names

select * from test

See SQL Fiddle with Demo

Based on your edit, you will do the following:

declare @recNum int = 0

while @recNum < 100
  BEGIN
    INSERT INTO people (po_box, name, address)
    SELECT 100501 + @recNum, 'MICHAEL COLLINS', 'MBEAL NA BLATH'

    set @recNum = @recNum + 1
  END


select *
from people
