在SQL Server中，可以使用insert将行插入到表中。。SELECT语句：
INSERT INTO Table (col1, col2, col3)
SELECT col1, col2, col3
FROM other_table
WHERE sql = 'cool'
是否也可以使用SELECT更新表？我有一个包含这些值的临时表，并希望使用这些值更新另一个表。也许是这样的：
UPDATE Table SET col1, col2
SELECT col1, col2
FROM other_table
WHERE sql = 'cool'
WHERE Table.id = other_table.id
当前回答
我以前使用过INSERT SELECT。对于那些想使用新东西的人来说，这里有一个类似的解决方案，但它要短得多：
UPDATE table1 // Table that's going to be updated.
LEFT JOIN // Type of join.
table2 AS tb2 // Second table and rename for easy.
ON
tb2.filedToMatchTables = table1.fieldToMatchTables // Fields to connect both tables.
SET
fieldFromTable1 = tb2.fieldFromTable2; // Field to be updated on table1.
field1FromTable1 = tb2.field1FromTable2, // This is in the case you need to
field1FromTable1 = tb2.field1FromTable2, // update more than one field.
field1FromTable1 = tb2.field1FromTable2; // Remember to put ; at the end.
其他回答
甚至还有一种更短的方法，可能会让你感到惊讶：
示例数据集：
CREATE TABLE #SOURCE ([ID] INT, [Desc] VARCHAR(10));
CREATE TABLE #DEST ([ID] INT, [Desc] VARCHAR(10));
INSERT INTO #SOURCE VALUES(1,'Desc_1'), (2, 'Desc_2'), (3, 'Desc_3');
INSERT INTO #DEST VALUES(1,'Desc_4'), (2, 'Desc_5'), (3, 'Desc_6');
代码：
UPDATE #DEST
SET #DEST.[Desc] = #SOURCE.[Desc]
FROM #SOURCE
WHERE #DEST.[ID] = #SOURCE.[ID];
在SQL Server 2008（或更高版本）中，使用MERGE
MERGE INTO YourTable T
USING other_table S
ON T.id = S.id
AND S.tsql = 'cool'
WHEN MATCHED THEN
UPDATE
SET col1 = S.col1,
col2 = S.col2;
或者：
MERGE INTO YourTable T
USING (
SELECT id, col1, col2
FROM other_table
WHERE tsql = 'cool'
) S
ON T.id = S.id
WHEN MATCHED THEN
UPDATE
SET col1 = S.col1,
col2 = S.col2;
以下示例使用派生表（FROM子句后的SELECT语句）返回旧值和新值以供进一步更新：
UPDATE x
SET x.col1 = x.newCol1,
x.col2 = x.newCol2
FROM (SELECT t.col1,
t2.col1 AS newCol1,
t.col2,
t2.col2 AS newCol2
FROM [table] t
JOIN other_table t2
ON t.ID = t2.ID) x
如果使用MySQL而不是SQL Server，语法为：
UPDATE Table1
INNER JOIN Table2
ON Table1.id = Table2.id
SET Table1.col1 = Table2.col1,
Table1.col2 = Table2.col2
单向
UPDATE t
SET t.col1 = o.col1,
t.col2 = o.col2
FROM
other_table o
JOIN
t ON t.id = o.id
WHERE
o.sql = 'cool'
