Something like this?

insert into dbo.Table1
(col1, col2, col3, col4)
select 'A', co11, 7, col8
from dbo.Table2
where...

In the SELECT statement, you can mix constant values ('A' and 7) with column
values (col1 and col8) - I think this is what you want to do, if I
understood you correctly. If this doesn't help, then I suggest you post
CREATE TABLE statements for both tables, and the INSERT statement you're
trying to make work, as that will avoid any confusion and guesswork.

Hi, I currently have a fairly complex query that returns a variable number of rows, sorted by various criteria. I am trying to insert the result of this query into an additional table, along with a row number. Ideally, I would like to be able to do this with an INSERT SELECT statement, although I'm not sure quite how to achieve this. An example of what I'm trying to achieve might be: INSERT INTO tblfinishingpositions (raceid,...

I need a MySQL select statement as part of a PHP script. I want to find rows where a certain column either starts with or equals a user-supplied string. The string will be 1 or more characters in length. The sending page allows the user to choose which search criteria he wants, so this (and many other) pieces of the select statement may or may not be present. The statement always starts with SELECT * from logdata where driver =...

I think I am attempting a simple procedure but I just can't figure out the correct syntax. My asp (classic) page runs a SELECT query to obtain dates and ID's from 2 tables uSQL = "SELECT cal_date, holiday_ID from Calendar, holiday_tbl WHERE (((calendar.cal_Date) Between . And .)) And Email_sent=0 AND Staff_ID=" & Staff_ID This works fine.
