    <p>The <code>INSERT</code> command comes in two flavors:</p> <p><strong>(1)</strong> either you have all your values available, as literals or SQL Server variables - in that case, you can use the <code>INSERT .. VALUES()</code> approach:</p> <pre><code>INSERT INTO dbo.YourTable(Col1, Col2, ...., ColN) VALUES(Value1, Value2, @Variable3, @Variable4, ...., ValueN) </code></pre> <p>Note: I would recommend to <strong>always</strong> explicitly specify the list of column to insert data into - that way, you won't have any nasty surprises if suddenly your table has an extra column, or if your tables has an <code>IDENTITY</code> or computed column. Yes - it's a tiny bit more work - <strong>once</strong> - but then you have your <code>INSERT</code> statement as solid as it can be and you won't have to constantly fiddle around with it if your table changes.</p> <p><strong>(2)</strong> if you <strong>don't</strong> have all your values as literals and/or variables, but instead you want to rely on another table, multiple tables, or views, to provide the values, then you can use the <code>INSERT ... SELECT ...</code> approach:</p> <pre><code>INSERT INTO dbo.YourTable(Col1, Col2, ...., ColN) SELECT SourceColumn1, SourceColumn2, @Variable3, @Variable4, ...., SourceColumnN FROM dbo.YourProvidingTableOrView </code></pre> <p>Here, you must define exactly as many items in the <code>SELECT</code> as your <code>INSERT</code> expects - and those can be columns from the table(s) (or view(s)), or those can be literals or variables. Again: explicitly provide the list of columns to insert into - see above.</p> <p>You can use <strong>one or the other</strong> - but you <strong>cannot</strong> mix the two - you cannot use <code>SELECT</code> and have a <code>VALUES(...)</code> clause in the middle of it - pick one of the two - stick with it.</p> <p>So in your concrete case, just use:</p> <pre><code>INSERT INTO dbo.table_name (ID, Name, Email) SELECT userID, userName, 'example@yahoo.com' FROM users_table WHERE condition1 </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
