I was wondering if it is possible to move all rows of data from one table to another, that match a certain query?
For example, I need to move all table rows from Tab
Here is how do it with single statement
WITH deleted_rows AS (
DELETE FROM source_table WHERE id = 1
RETURNING *
)
INSERT INTO destination_table
SELECT * FROM deleted_rows;
EXAMPLE:
postgres=# select * from test1 ;
id | name
----+--------
1 | yogesh
2 | Raunak
3 | Varun
(3 rows)
postgres=# select * from test2;
id | name
----+------
(0 rows)
postgres=# WITH deleted_rows AS (
postgres(# DELETE FROM test1 WHERE id = 1
postgres(# RETURNING *
postgres(# )
postgres-# INSERT INTO test2
postgres-# SELECT * FROM deleted_rows;
INSERT 0 1
postgres=# select * from test2;
id | name
----+--------
1 | yogesh
(1 row)
postgres=# select * from test1;
id | name
----+--------
2 | Raunak
3 | Varun
