INSERT .. SELECT

Applies to ✅ Open Source Edition ✅ Express Edition ✅ Professional Edition ✅ Enterprise Edition

In some occasions, you may prefer the INSERT SELECT syntax, for instance, when you copy records from one table to another:

create.insertInto(AUTHOR_ARCHIVE)
      .select(selectFrom(AUTHOR).where(AUTHOR.DECEASED.isTrue()))
      .execute();

Dialect support

This example using jOOQ:

insertInto(AUTHOR).columns(AUTHOR.ID, AUTHOR.LAST_NAME).select(select(val(100), val("Hesse")))

Translates to the following dialect specific expressions:

INSERT INTO AUTHOR (ID, LAST_NAME)
SELECT 100, 'Hesse'
FROM (
  SELECT count(*) dual
  FROM MSysResources
) AS dual

INSERT INTO AUTHOR (ID, LAST_NAME)
SELECT 100, 'Hesse'

INSERT INTO AUTHOR (ID, LAST_NAME)
SELECT 100, 'Hesse'
FROM DUAL

INSERT INTO AUTHOR (ID, LAST_NAME)
SELECT 100, 'Hesse'
FROM SYSIBM.DUAL

INSERT INTO AUTHOR (ID, LAST_NAME)
SELECT 100, 'Hesse'
FROM SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1

INSERT INTO AUTHOR (ID, LAST_NAME)
SELECT 100, 'Hesse'
FROM RDB$DATABASE

INSERT INTO AUTHOR (ID, LAST_NAME)
SELECT 100, 'Hesse'
FROM SYS.DUMMY

INSERT INTO AUTHOR (ID, LAST_NAME)
SELECT 100, 'Hesse'
FROM (VALUES (1)) AS dual (dual)

INSERT INTO AUTHOR (ID, LAST_NAME)
SELECT 100, 'Hesse'
FROM (
  SELECT 1 AS dual
  FROM systables
  WHERE (tabid = 1)
) AS dual

INSERT INTO AUTHOR (ID, LAST_NAME)
SELECT 100, 'Hesse'
FROM (
  SELECT 1 AS "dual"
) AS "dual"
