## SQL Insert into Select Statement
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You can insert records in a table using data that are already stored in the database. This is only a copy of data and it doesn’t affect the origin table.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The `INSERT INTO SELECT` statement combines `INSERT INTO` and `SELECT` statements and you can use any conditions you want. The syntax is:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```sql
|
|||
|
|
INSERT INTO table2 (column1, column2, column3, ...)
|
|||
|
|
SELECT column1, column2, column3, ...
|
|||
|
|
FROM table1
|
|||
|
|
WHERE condition;
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Here is an example that inserts in the table Person all the male students from the table Students.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```sql
|
|||
|
|
INSERT INTO Person(Id, Name, DateOfBirth, Gender)
|
|||
|
|
SELECT Id, Name, DateOfBirth, Gender
|
|||
|
|
FROM Students
|
|||
|
|
WHERE Gender = ‘M’
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
