I have a Query as shown below column1 is int anothercolumn is varchar(100)
INSERT INTO TABLE1 (column1,column2)
SELECT (MAX(column1) FROM TABLE1)+1 ,anotherColumn FROM TABLE2
Table1 Before Query
column1 column2
------- -------
3 test1
4 test2
Table1 After Query
column1 column2
------- -------
3 test1
4 test2
5 anotherVal1
5 anotherVal2
5 anotherVal3
But I want
column1 column2
------- -------
3 test1
4 test2
5 anotherVal1
6 anotherVal2
7 anotherVal3
How can I achieve this in SQLserver 2008 StoredProcedure? I always assumed that Queries are iterated and they would check the condition for each rows. But it seems like aggregate function executes only once!
EDIT 1
Please answer this too After only completing the SELECT statement the INSERT would work. Thats why I didn't get result as expected??? Am I correct?
use row_number function to give your rows sequential numbers
insert into Table1 (column1,column2)
select
(select max(column1) from Table1) + row_number() over (order by T2.anotherColumn),
T2.anotherColumn
from Table2 as T2
or more safe version (it would work even if you don't have any rows in Table1):
insert into Table1 (column1,column2)
select
isnull(T1.m, 0) + row_number() over (order by T2.anotherColumn),
T2.anotherColumn
from Table2 as T2
outer apply (select max(column) as m from Table1) as T1
