Hello,

I would like to store records of a table into another table.

INSERT INTO Tab2 (Spalte1,Spalte2)...) SELECT Spalte1,Spalte2,... FROM Tab1

However all records always are inserted in Tab2 from Tab1. I would like to select the records in the Tab1 previously and then I would like to insert only the selected records into the Tab2.

Which possibilities are there for it? Maybe you have a few suggestions.

Ciao Frank

In your query, use the following modification :

INSERT INTO Tab2 (Spalte1,Spalte2)...) SELECT Spalte1,Spalte2,... FROM Tab1 <b>WHERE ....</b>

Then, your select of Tab1 will be limited to your filter, and therefore only the selected rows from Tab1 will be inserted into tab2.

Hope it helps.
