Bulk insert with SQL Server where one column has many values and all other columns take on preset values - sql-server

Question

I have a table (Table1) that has 4 columns (ID1, ID2, Percent, Time, Expired). I want to insert a bunch of new rows in that table where ID1 is taken from another SQL query I have and all the other columns are set to some specified values.
So I have my query:
SELECT someID FROM other_tables WITH other_conditions
And essentially what I want to do is
FOR v in <above query>
Insert New row into Table1 (v, some second id, some percent, some time, some expired value)
EDIT I'm not opposed to not doing this in a loop, just don't know what the best way to insert the data is

Answer 1

You can use a cursor and fetch I think for what you are trying to accomplish. Here is a shell for you...
WITH CURSOR
DECLARE c CURSOR FOR
SELECT DISTINCT colName FROM Table1 JOIN Table2 ON <stuff> WHERE <other_stuff>
DECLARE #ID VARCHAR(4) --or what ever is needed
OPEN c
FETCH NEXT FROM c INTO #ID
WHILE ##FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
INSERT INTO Table1 (ID, ID2, Percent, Time, Expired)
VALUES (#ID, some second id, some percent, some time, some expired value)
WHERE ID = #ID
FETCH NEXT FROM c INTO #ID
END
CLOSE c
DEALLOCATE c
WITH CROSS APPLY (DUMMY DATA)
if object_id('tempdb..#ids') is not null drop table #ids
if object_id('tempdb..#idDetails') is not null drop table #idDetails
create table #ids (id int)
insert into #ids (id) values
(1),(2),(3)
select i.*, d.*
into #idDetails
from #ids i cross apply (select 2 as id2 ,2.0 as per,'1/1/2016' as dt,'x' as x) d
select * from #idDetails
WITH CROSS APPLY (EXAMPLE WITH YOUR TABLES)
select i.someID, d.*
into #idDetails
from other_tables i
cross apply (select 'some second id' as id2 ,'some percent' as [Percent],'1/1/2016 14:55:22' as [SomeTime] as dt,'SomeExpiredVal' as [ExpiredVal]) d
select * from #idDetails

Maybe I am missing something, but you need a table valued function which returns the desired row for each row in Table1
create function fn_get_new_recs(id int)
RETURNS #results TABLE (Id INT,<other columns you need>)
AS
BEGIN
--Query here to return new records for a single id
END
then use CROSS APPLY
INSERT INTO Table1(Id,Col1,Col2,Col3)
SELECT ST.Id,ST.Col1,ST.Col2,ST.Col3
FROM Table1 T
cross apply fn_get_new_recs(T.Id) ST
