Question

I’m wanting to insert random data from one field into another. I’m unsure of the syntax for this completely, So I’m thinking

icdtbl.icd_id = primary key
icdjxn.icd_id = foreign key

  insert into icdjxn (icd_id,patiendID)

    select top 5000 icd_id from icdtbl order by newid(),select top 5000 patientID from patientTbl order by newid()

edited for the entirety of what i was looking for.

Answer 1

insert into icdjxn (icd_id)  
select top 5000 icd_id from icdtbl order by newid() 

You don’t use the word values when using a select.
