Valid GROUP BY query doesn't work when combined with INSERT INTO on Oracle

Question

I\'m trying to write an INSERT INTO that does a some DISTINCT/GROUP BY work. The query runs perfectly fine as a select statement, but will not work if it\'s wrapped into an INS

Answer 1

Am I thinking wrong, but is not the sql below equal what you want to achieve?

INSERT INTO MasterRecords(BatchRecordRecordID, SourceID, BatchID)
SELECT DISTINCT RecordID, 101, 150
FROM BatchRecords
WHERE BatchID = 150
;
