INSERT SELECT statement in Oracle 11G

Question

I\'m trying to run a very simple sql statement in Oracle 11g.

 insert into table1 (col1, col2) values (select t1.col1, t2.col2 from oldtable1 t1, oldtable2 t         


        

Answer 1

Your query should be:

insert into table1 (col1, col2) 
select t1.col1, t2.col2 
from oldtable1 t1, oldtable2 t2

I.e. without the VALUES part.
