Hi All

SQL Server 2012 Newbie(ish..) here and wondering if any of you awesome folk can help?

I have a table which logs customers food purchases last month and subsquently which promotions to include them in for next month.

Everyone will be included in campaign A, but some people will be selected for Campaign B, C and D based on their usage criteria.

CustID Age Soup Meat Fish Sweet Fruit PromotionToOffer
--------------------------------------------------------------------
1 18 3 12 5 13 8 Campaign-A
2 32 9 9 2 10 7 Campaign-A
3 44 12 6 1 6 12 Campaign-A
4 26 8 15 0 7 19 Campaign-A


I need to duplicate some of these records (based on criteria, e.g. 'everyone who is over 20 and eats more than 15 fruit a month') and in these new record, change the PromotionToOffer to be 'Campaign-B'

Could someone guide me on how to do this?

Much appreciated!

If you want to add another row (i.e., offer a second promotion) to the qualifying people, do something like this
INSERT INTO tbl
(CustID, Age, Soup, Meat, Fish, Sweet, Fruit, PromotionToOffer)
SELECT
	CustId,
	Age,
	Soup,
	Meat,
	Fish,
	Sweet,
	Fruit,
	'Campaign-B' AS PromotionToOffer
WHERE
	Age > 20 AND Fruit > 15;

If you want to replace such people's offer with Campaign-B, then use update as shown below
UPDATE tbl SET
	PromotionToOffer = 'Campaign-B'
WHERE
	Age > 20 AND Fruit > 15;

This is simple:
You have a select that gives you what you want and the only "wrong" thing is the PromotionToOffer column?

Then in your SELECT list change
select
CustID,
Age,
...,
PromotionToOffer
from ... where ...

to

select
CustID,
Age,
...,
'Campaign-B' as PromotionToOffer
from ... where ...
