I need to save select query output into temporary table. Then I need to make another select query against this temporary table. Does anybody know how to do it?
I need to make this on SQL Server.
select *
into #TempTable
from SomeTale
select *
from #TempTable
You can also do the following:
CREATE TABLE #TEMPTABLE
(
Column1 type1,
Column2 type2,
Column3 type3
)
INSERT INTO #TEMPTABLE
SELECT ...
SELECT *
FROM #TEMPTABLE ...
DROP TABLE #TEMPTABLE
In Sqlite:
CREATE TABLE T AS
SELECT * FROM ...;
-- Use temporary table `T`
DROP TABLE T;

How to create table using select query in SQL Server?

I want to create a table from select query result in SQL Server, I tried
create table temp AS select.....
but I got an error
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'AS'
Use following syntax to create new table from old table in SQL server 2008
Select * into new_table from old_table
use SELECT...INTO
The SELECT INTO statement creates a new table and populates it with
the result set of the SELECT statement. SELECT INTO can be used to
combine data from several tables or views into one table. It can also
be used to create a new table that contains data selected from a
linked server.
Example,
SELECT col1, col2 INTO #a -- <<== creates temporary table
FROM tablename
Inserting Rows by Using SELECT INTO
Standard Syntax,
SELECT col1, ....., col# -- <<== select as many columns as you want
INTO [New tableName]
FROM [Source Table Name]
Please be careful,
MSSQL: "SELECT * INTO NewTable FROM OldTable"
is not always the same as
MYSQL: "create table temp AS select.."
I think that there are occasions when this (in MSSQL)
does not guarantee that all the fields in the new table are of the same type as the old.
For example :
create table oldTable (field1 varchar(10), field2 integer, field3 float)
insert into oldTable (field1,field2,field3) values ('1', 1, 1)
select top 1 * into newTable from oldTable
does not always yield:
create table newTable (field1 varchar(10), field2 integer, field3 float)
but may be:
create table newTable (field1 varchar(10), field2 integer, field3 integer)
Please try:
SELECT * INTO NewTable FROM OldTable
Try using SELECT INTO....
SELECT ....
INTO TABLE_NAME(table you want to create)
FROM source_table
Select [Column Name] into [New Table] from [Source Table]
I have a stored procedure which returns a list of IDs for a particular set of generators I want to be able to then use the results of this stored procedure as part of another query.
Can I write a query like:
select * from table where id in (exec dbo.storedprocedurename)
Using table variable and JOIN you can achieve this. Store the procedure result into the table.
DECLARE #ProcOutput TABLE (Id INT);
INSERT INTO #ProcOutput (Id)
EXEC [dbo].[storedprocedurename]
SELECT T.*
FROM Table T
JOIN #ProcOutput O ON O.Id = T.Id
If the procedure returns multiple entries, according to the output you can re-design the table's schema.
If your output of procedure is 2 columns then you may try this:
INSERT INTO MyTable
(
Col1,
Col2
)
EXEC [dbo].[storedprocedurename]
GO
SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE ID IN (SELECT Col1 from Mytable)
I'm trying to copy all data from Table1 into Table2.
I don't know what and how many columns are their in table 1. I mean I want to copy even column names from table 1 to table 2.
There is option like
insert *
into #table2
from Table1
but I even can't use this because there are many select query which has already been written at past. So I have to do something like this.
insert *
into #table2
from (select * from Table1)
This is throwing an error
Incorrect syntax near )
Try This:
Select * into #table2 from (select * from table1 ) as X
---To copy along with data..
select * into newtable from oldtable
--to copy only schema..
select * into newtable from oldtable where 1=2
Is it possible to insert data from select statement into a a dynamically created table? I will not know how many columns are there in select statement until I run the query. It has to create the appropriate number of columns at run time.
Thank you,
Smith
Just use the SELECT INTO syntax:
SELECT *
INTO NewTable
FROM MyTable
WHERE ...
The new table NewTable will be created with the same columns as your select statement.
You can use a CTAS pattern for this
USE AdventureWorks
GO
----Create new table and insert into table using SELECT INSERT
SELECT FirstName, LastName
INTO TestTable
FROM Person.Contact
WHERE EmailPromotion = 2
----Verify that Data in TestTable
SELECT FirstName, LastName
FROM TestTable
----Clean Up Database
DROP TABLE TestTable
GO
Have a look at This Article on CTAS
-- This creates temporary table
select *
into #newtable
from YourTable
select * from #newtable
-- This creates physical table in the DB
select *
into newtable
from YourTable
select * from newtable
I have two tables, I want to transfer all data from the first table to the second table in case of this data is not exits i nthe second table. how to do it using MS-sql server query ?
it could be something like:
INSERT INTO tableB(FieldA, FieldB, FieldC)
SELECT a.FieldA, a.FieldB, a.FieldC
FROM tableA a
WHERE NOT EXISTS
(
SELECT *
FROM tableB b
/* Primary key field(s)*/
WHERE b.FieldA =a.FieldA
)
in ms-sql you could do something like this:
INSERT INTO mytable(column1, column2) select value1, value2 from mytable2;
but you must make sure that the column1 and value1 have the same datatype same with column2.
Hope it helps. ;)
If the table doesn't exixst you can
SELECT * INTO SECOND_TABLE
FROM FIRST_TABLE;
If you want it to run even if table exists you can preceed this query with:
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.objects WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[YOUR_SCHEMA].[SECOND_TABLE]') AND type in (N'U'))
DROP TABLE [YOUR_SCHEMA].[SECOND_TABLE];
