How can I insert values into a table, using a subquery with more than one result?

I really would appreciate your help.

Probably it's a quite simple problem to solve - but I'm not the one .. ;-)

I have two tables in SQL Server:

Now I want to select a certain set of ids and insert some entries into the prices-table with those ID.

e.g. (wrong and not working SQL)

INSERT INTO prices (group, id, price) 
VALUES (7, (select articleId from article WHERE name LIKE 'ABC%'), 1.50);

SQL Error -> subquery has more than 1 value

thanks for help

You want:

insert into prices (group, id, price)
select 
    7, articleId, 1.50
from article where name like 'ABC%';

where you just hardcode the constant fields.

Try this:

INSERT INTO prices (
    group, 
    id,
    price
) 
SELECT
    7,
    articleId,
    1.50
FROM
    article 
WHERE 
    name LIKE 'ABC%';

INSERT INTO prices (group, id, price)
  SELECT 7, articleId, 1.50 FROM article WHERE name LIKE 'ABC%'

If you are inserting one record into your table, you can do

INSERT INTO yourTable 
VALUES(value1, value2)

But since you want to insert more than one record, you can use a SELECT FROM in your SQL statement.

so you will want to do this:

INSERT INTO prices (group, id, price) 
SELECT 7, articleId, 1.50
from article 
WHERE name LIKE 'ABC%'

the sub query looks like

 insert into table_name (col1,col2,....) values (select col1,col2,... FROM table_2 ...)

hope this help

INSERT INTO prices(group, id, price)
SELECT 7, articleId, 1.50
FROM article where name like 'ABC%';
