We can insert values into the table through the self-calculated output returned by MySQL. In this case we don't need to use a virtual "dual" table. The syntax can look like this:
INSERT INTO table_name(column1,column2,column3,…) Select value1,value2,value3,…;
In the example below, we use the output of MySQL self-calculation to insert values into the 'testing' table.
mysql> Create table testing(id int, item_name varchar(10)); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.15 sec) mysql> Insert into testing (id,item_name)Select 1,'Book'; Query OK, 1 row affected (0.11 sec) Records: 1 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0 mysql> Insert into testing (id,item_name)Select 2,'Pen'; Query OK, 1 row affected (0.11 sec) Records: 1 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0 mysql> select * from testing; +------+-----------+ | id | item_name | +------+-----------+ | 1 | Book | | 2 | Pen | +------+-----------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
