| Hi guys,I know it's easy but just can't figure it out:There are some data in a table with TypeID=23 and I need copy all rows with TypeID=23 to the same table, I mean append at the end, and make the copied rows TypeId=24 for some tests purpose. How can I do this? Thanks in advance. |

do you mean something like:INSERT dbo.TableA ( Col1, Col2, ... )SELECT Col1, Col2, ...FROM dbo.TableAWHERE TypeID = 23 |

| Thanks Lamprey, this is what I need. But after that all the TypeId copied will be 23. So I changed little bit by Select 'XXX', Col2 from ...Then all copied rows have TypeId = 'XXX' then I just update that to 24.I never knew insert can be used to the same table, thanks again. |

no need of insert and updateyou could do it in one step (insert alone)likeINSERT dbo.TableA ( TypeID, Col1, Col2, ... )SELECT 24, Col1, Col2, ...FROM dbo.TableAWHERE TypeID = 23 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SQL Server MVPhttp://visakhm.blogspot.com/https://www.facebook.com/VmBlogs |
