How to do INSERT into a table records extracted fr

问题:

I\'m trying to write a query that extracts and transforms data from a table and then insert those data into another table. Yes, this is a data warehousing query and I\'m doing it in MS Access. So basically I want some query like this:

INSERT INTO Table2(LongIntColumn2, CurrencyColumn2) VALUES
  (SELECT LongIntColumn1, Avg(CurrencyColumn) as CurrencyColumn1 FROM Table1 GROUP BY LongIntColumn1);

I tried but get a syntax error message.

What would you do if you want to do this?

回答1:

No \"VALUES\", no parenthesis:

INSERT INTO Table2(LongIntColumn2, CurrencyColumn2)
SELECT LongIntColumn1, Avg(CurrencyColumn) as CurrencyColumn1 FROM Table1 GROUP BY LongIntColumn1;

回答2:

You have two syntax options:

Option 1

CREATE TABLE Table1 (
    id int identity(1, 1) not null,
    LongIntColumn1 int,
    CurrencyColumn money
)

CREATE TABLE Table2 (
    id int identity(1, 1) not null,
    LongIntColumn2 int,
    CurrencyColumn2 money
)

INSERT INTO Table1 VALUES(12, 12.00)
INSERT INTO Table1 VALUES(11, 13.00)

INSERT INTO Table2
SELECT LongIntColumn1, Avg(CurrencyColumn) as CurrencyColumn1 FROM Table1 GROUP BY LongIntColumn1

Option 2

CREATE TABLE Table1 (
    id int identity(1, 1) not null,
    LongIntColumn1 int,
    CurrencyColumn money
)

INSERT INTO Table1 VALUES(12, 12.00)
INSERT INTO Table1 VALUES(11, 13.00)


SELECT LongIntColumn1, Avg(CurrencyColumn) as CurrencyColumn1
INTO Table2
FROM Table1
GROUP BY LongIntColumn1

Bear in mind that Option 2 will create a table with only the columns on the projection (those on the SELECT).

回答3:

Remove both VALUES and the parenthesis.

INSERT INTO Table2 (LongIntColumn2, CurrencyColumn2)
SELECT LongIntColumn1, Avg(CurrencyColumn) FROM Table1 GROUP BY LongIntColumn1

回答4:

Remove VALUES from your SQL.

回答5:

I believe your problem in this instance is the \"values\" keyword. You use the \"values\" keyword when you are inserting only one row of data. For inserting the results of a select, you don\'t need it.

Also, you really don\'t need the parentheses around the select statement.

From msdn:

Multiple-record append query:

INSERT INTO target [(field1[, field2[, …]])] [IN externaldatabase]
SELECT [source.]field1[, field2[, …]
FROM tableexpression

Single-record append query:

INSERT INTO target [(field1[, field2[, …]])]     
VALUES (value1[, value2[, …])

回答6:

Remove \"values\" when you\'re appending a group of rows, and remove the extra parentheses. You can avoid the circular reference by using an alias for avg(CurrencyColumn) (as you did in your example) or by not using an alias at all.

If the column names are the same in both tables, your query would be like this:

INSERT INTO Table2 (LongIntColumn, Junk)
SELECT LongIntColumn, avg(CurrencyColumn) as CurrencyColumn1
FROM Table1
GROUP BY LongIntColumn;

And it would work without an alias:

INSERT INTO Table2 (LongIntColumn, Junk)
SELECT LongIntColumn, avg(CurrencyColumn)
FROM Table1
GROUP BY LongIntColumn;

回答7:

Well I think the best way would be (will be?) to define 2 recordsets and use them as an intermediate between the 2 tables.

1. Open both recordsets
2. Extract the data from the first table (SELECT blablabla)
3. Update 2nd recordset with data available in the first recordset (either by adding new records or updating existing records
4. Close both recordsets

This method is particularly interesting if you plan to update tables from different databases (ie each recordset can have its own connection ...)

回答8:

inserting data form one table to another table in different DATABASE

insert into DocTypeGroup 
    Select DocGrp_Id,DocGrp_SubId,DocGrp_GroupName,DocGrp_PM,DocGrp_DocType 
    from Opendatasource( \'SQLOLEDB\',\'Data Source=10.132.20.19;UserID=sa;Password=gchaturthi\').dbIPFMCI.dbo.DocTypeGroup

回答9:

Do you want to insert extraction in an existing table?

If it does not matter then you can try the below query:

SELECT LongIntColumn1, Avg(CurrencyColumn) as CurrencyColumn1 INTO T1 FROM Table1 
GROUP BY LongIntColumn1);

It will create a new table -> T1 with the extracted information
