I currently have a SQL query that produces a table with around 10M rows. I would like to append this table with another column that has the same entry for all 10M rows.
As an example consider the following toy query
SELECT PRODUCT_ID, ORDER_QUANTITY
FROM PRODUCT_TABLE
GROUP BY SALES_DAY
And say that is produces the following table
PRODUCT_ID ORDER_QUANTITY`
1 10
2 12
3 14
How can I change this query so that it produces the following table, where every entry in USER_VALUE is 999.
PRODUCT_ID ORDER_QUANTITY USER_VALUE
1 10 999
2 12 999
3 14 999
I realize that there may be several answers here... but I suppose that it would help to know the method that would be produce the table with the smallest file size (I assume this would require specifying the type of data beforehand).
To insert values into specific columns, you first have to specify which columns you want to populate. The query would look like this: INSERT INTO your_table_name (your_column_name) VALUES (the_value);
In Microsoft SQL Server, we can change the order of the columns and can add a new column by using ALTER command. ALTER TABLE is used to add, delete/drop or modify columns in the existing table. It is also used to add and drop various constraints on the existing table.
Like this:
SELECT PRODUCT_ID, ORDER_QUANTITY, 999 as USER_VALUE FROM PRODUCT_TABLE GROUP BY SALES_DAY
You can pass it in the SELECT
, for example:
SELECT PRODUCT_ID, ORDER_QUANTITY, 999 AS USER_VALUE FROM PRODUCT_TABLE GROUP BY SALES_DAY
you can use
SELECT PRODUCT_ID, ORDER_QUANTITY, user_value=999
FROM PRODUCT_TABLE
GROUP BY SALES_DAY
