select from one table, insert into another table oracle sql query

insert, oracle, select, sql

Solution

From the oracle documentation, the below query explains it better

INSERT INTO tbl_temp2 (fld_id)
SELECT tbl_temp1.fld_order_id
FROM tbl_temp1 WHERE tbl_temp1.fld_order_id > 100;

You can read this link

Your query would be as follows

//just the concept    
    INSERT INTO quotedb
    (COLUMN_NAMES) //seperated by comma
    SELECT COLUMN_NAMES FROM tickerdb,quotedb WHERE quotedb.ticker = tickerdb.ticker

Note: Make sure the columns in insert and select are in right position as per your requirement

Hope this helps!
