Copy data into another table
SqlSql ServerSql Server-2008Sql Problem Overview
How to copy/append data from one table into another table with same schema in SQL Server?
Edit:
let's say there is a query
select *
into table1
from table2
where 1=1
which creates table1 with the same schema as well as data as in table2.
Is there any short query like this to only copy entire data only into an already existing table?
Sql Solutions
Solution 1 - Sql
If both tables are truly the same schema:
INSERT INTO newTable
SELECT * FROM oldTable
Otherwise, you'll have to specify the column names (the column list for newTable is optional if you are specifying a value for all columns and selecting columns in the same order as newTable's schema):
INSERT INTO newTable (col1, col2, col3)
SELECT column1, column2, column3
FROM oldTable
Solution 2 - Sql
Simple way if new table does not exist and you want to make a copy of old table with everything then following works in SQL Server.
SELECT * INTO NewTable FROM OldTable
Solution 3 - Sql
This is the proper way to do it:
INSERT INTO destinationTable
SELECT * FROM sourceTable
Solution 4 - Sql
INSERT INTO table1 (col1, col2, col3)
SELECT column1, column2, column3
FROM table2
Solution 5 - Sql
Try this:
INSERT INTO MyTable1 (Col1, Col2, Col4)
SELECT Col1, Col2, Col3 FROM MyTable2
Solution 6 - Sql
Try this:
Insert Into table2
Select * from table1
Solution 7 - Sql
Insert Selected column with condition
INSERT INTO where_to_insert (col_1,col_2) SELECT col1, col2 FROM from_table WHERE condition;
Copy all data from one table to another with the same column name.
INSERT INTO where_to_insert
SELECT * FROM from_table WHERE condition;
Solution 8 - Sql
INSERT INTO DestinationTable(SupplierName, Country)
SELECT SupplierName, Country FROM SourceTable;
It is not mandatory column names to be same.
Solution 9 - Sql
CREATE TABLE `table2` LIKE `table1`;
INSERT INTO `table2` SELECT * FROM `table1`;
the first query will create the structure from table1 to table2 and second query will put the data from table1 to table2
Solution 10 - Sql
Copy all columns from one table to another table:
INSERT INTO table2
SELECT * FROM table1
WHERE condition;
Copy only some columns from one table into another table:
INSERT INTO table2 (column1, column2, column3, ...)
SELECT column1, column2, column3, ...
FROM table1
WHERE condition;
You can duplicate or "clone" a table's contents by executing:
CREATE TABLE new_table AS SELECT * FROM original_table;
Solution 11 - Sql
-- for Sql Server users.
if you don't have the new table then you can create the new table with same structure as old table, and also copy data over from old table to the new table. For example:
select * into new_table
from old_table;
also you can copy the column / table structure, and just some of data. For example:
select * into new_table
from old_table
where country = 'DE';
