Question

I want to know if this is possible without a procedure or server side calls into the database.

I am trying to insert values into a table based on a select, and other values that will be provided from the server.

The select statement will return more than one result.

I am aware of the existence of INSERT SELECT, but is there any SELECT INSERT ? or a way to insert based on the results of a select ?

thank you

Not really sure what seems to be the problem.

You can do like this:

INSERT INTO table (columns)
SELECT
  column or column expression1,
  column or column expression2,
  …
  constant or constant expression1,
  constant or constant expression2,
  …
FROM a set of tables/joins
WHERE …

Not necessarily in that order (columns, then constants), no. You can mix columns with constants any way you like, just follow the order of the columns you are inserting into.

Was that what you were asking about?
