INSERT INTO yourtable
SELECT fielda, fieldb, fieldc
FROM donortable;

这适用于所有DBMS

实际上，我更喜欢SQL Server 2008中的以下内容：

SELECT Table1.Column1, Table1.Column2, Table2.Column1, Table2.Column2, 'Some String' AS SomeString, 8 AS SomeInt
INTO Table3
FROM Table1 INNER JOIN Table2 ON Table1.Column1 = Table2.Column3

它省去了添加Insert（）集的步骤，只需选择表中的值。

INSERT INTO FIRST_TABLE_NAME (COLUMN_NAME)
SELECT  COLUMN_NAME
FROM    ANOTHER_TABLE_NAME 
WHERE CONDITION;

只需在INSERT中使用SELECT子句的括号。例如：

INSERT INTO Table1 (col1, col2, your_desired_value_from_select_clause, col3)
VALUES (
   'col1_value', 
   'col2_value',
   (SELECT col_Table2 FROM Table2 WHERE IdTable2 = 'your_satisfied_value_for_col_Table2_selected'),
   'col3_value'
);

已知表列序列时的简单插入：

    Insert into Table1
    values(1,2,...)

简单插入提及列：

    Insert into Table1(col2,col4)
    values(1,2)

当表（#table2）的选定列数等于插入表（Table1）时进行大容量插入

    Insert into Table1 {Column sequence}
    Select * -- column sequence should be same.
       from #table2

当您只想插入表（表1）的所需列时进行大容量插入：

    Insert into Table1 (Column1,Column2 ....Desired Column from Table1)  
    Select Column1,Column2..desired column from #table2
       from #table2

在informix中，正如克劳德所说：

INSERT INTO table (column1, column2) 
VALUES (value1, value2);
