Question

this is how insert into, select is usually working
(example taken from: https://stackoverflow.com/a/576442/101055):

INSERT INTO new_table (Foo, Bar, Fizz, Buzz)
SELECT Foo, Bar, Fizz, Buzz
FROM initial_table

BUT – how to do this if Fizz is not in the initial_table, but is a variable @fizz?

this fails:

INSERT INTO new_table (Foo, Bar, @fizz, Buzz)
SELECT Foo, Bar, Buzz
FROM initial_table

thnx

Answer 1

INSERT INTO new_table (Foo, Bar, Fizz, Buzz)
SELECT Foo, Bar, @fizz, Buzz
FROM initial_table

The insert syntax is

insert into destination_table (destination_colum1, destination_colum2, ...)
select source_value1, source_value2, ...  from source_table

First you name the columns you want to write into and then you select the source
