Insert new rows into table but copy data from another row in the table

I have a table within my ingres db with the following values for example

grd    gsd    Name   Location
112    04     Joe    Test

I want to create a new row with the same data copied but the "grd" value changed to a new value like below

grd    gsd    Name   Location
113    04     Joe    Test

How can I achieve this in an optimised sql statement?

Solution

  • Try something like this:

    INSERT INTO your_table (grd, gsd, Name, Location)
    SELECT
        grd,--or change it here as you need (for example replacing with value 113)
        gsd,
        Name,
        Location
    FROM your_table
    --WHERE some condition (e.g. grd = 112)
