Question

So I have a SQL query that gives me a list of ints. Listed here:

select distinct
            re_entity_id
      from cfo_transaction 
            inner join cfo_tran_quote  ON tq_tr_transaction_id = tr_transaction_id
            inner join cfo_trans_entity_rel on te_tr_transaction_id = tr_transaction_id and te_rv_rel_type_id in (713,715)
            inner join com_entity on te_co_re_entity_id = re_entity_id
      where 
            dbo.islmsloan(tq_tran_quote_id) = 1
            and isnull(re_fictitious_bit,0) = 0

This gives me a list of id’s that I need to insert into another table along with other stuff. The other table looks like this:

ens_engine_sponsor_id - PK
ens_rs_sponsor_id - relates to the id from the other query
ens_use_new_models_bit - should always be 1 for each insert
ens_start_dt - should be 09/05/2011 for every one
ens_end_dt - should be null for every one

How would I formulate something that automatically inserts a row for each of those Id’s in this new table with the given criteria? (Not so good with SQL…)

Thanks

You can add constants into your SELECT list as below.

insert into othertable
            (ens_rs_sponsor_id,
             ens_use_new_models_bit,
             ens_start_dt)
select distinct re_entity_id,
                1,
                '20110905'
from   cfo_transaction
       inner join cfo_tran_quote
         ON tq_tr_transaction_id = tr_transaction_id
       inner join cfo_trans_entity_rel
         on te_tr_transaction_id = tr_transaction_id
            and te_rv_rel_type_id in ( 713, 715 )
       inner join com_entity
         on te_co_re_entity_id = re_entity_id
where  dbo.islmsloan(tq_tran_quote_id) = 1
       and isnull(re_fictitious_bit, 0) = 0  

If the reason for using DISTINCT is to remove duplicates brought in by the joins you could consider using WHERE EXISTS instead.
