Question

I would like to insert data into a table based on all the values of a secondary table’s column. For example

I have two tables

CREATE TABLE Table1 (
id int identity(1, 1) not null,
FullName varchar(100),
Age int,
CourseID int

)

CREATE TABLE Table2 (
id int identity(1, 1) not null,
Courses int

)

I would like to perform something like this ..

insert into Table1 ('Auser',20,'And the list of Courses that I get from Table2')

Is there a way I can do this in sql server ?

Answer 1

So for one new user you want to insert all available courses?

INSERT INTO Table1 
   SELECT 'Ausser', 20, t2.Courses 
   FROM Table2 t2;
