Copy rows from one table to another, ignoring duplicates

Question

Answer 1

DISTINCT is the keyword you're looking for.

In MSSQL, copying unique rows from a table to another can be done like this:

SELECT DISTINCT column_name
INTO newTable
FROM srcTable

The column_name is the column you're searching the unique values from.

Tested and works.
