INSERT INTO SELECT requires that data types in source and target tables match The SQL INSERT INTO SELECT syntax The general syntax is: INSERT INTO table-name ( column-names ) SELECT column-names FROM table-name WHERE condition SQL INSERT SELECT INTO Example

SQL SELECT INTO Statement With Exxample

SQL SELECT INTO Statement SELECT INTO copies data from one table into a new table. SELECT INTO creates a new table located in the default filegroup. The SQL SELECT INTO syntax The general syntax is: SELECT column-names INTO new-table-name FROM table-name WHERE EXISTS ( SELECT column-name FROM table-name WHERE condition ) The new table will have column names as specified in the query. SQL SELECT INTO Example

SQL WHERE EXISTS Statement with Example

SQL WHERE EXISTS Statement WHERE EXISTS tests for the existence of any records in a subquery. EXISTS returns true if the subquery returns one or more records.
