Column name or number of supplied values does not match table definition

Question

In SQL server, I am trying to insert values from one table to another by using the below query:

delete from tblTable1

insert into tblTable1 select * from tb         


        

Answer 1

This is an older post but I want to also mention that if you have something like

insert into blah
       select * from blah2

and blah and blah2 are identical keep in mind that a computed column will throw this same error...

I just realized that when the above failed and I tried

insert into blah (cola, colb, colc)
       select cola, colb, colc from blah2

In my example it was fullname field (computed from first and last, etc)
