I have a table with two columns:
CREATE TABLE MyTable(
Id int IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
Name nvarchar(100) NOT NULL);
I want to duplicate the data using SELECT INSERT statement:
INSERT INTO MyTable (Name)
SELECT Name FROM MyTable
and here is the trickey part - I want to retrieve a mapping table between the original identity and the new identity:
DECLARE @idsMap TABLE (OriginalId int, NewId int)
I know I suppose to use the OUTPUT clause, but for some reason it doesn't work:
INSERT INTO MyTable (Name)
OUTPUT t.Id, INSERTED.Id INTO @idsMap (OriginalId, NewId)
SELECT Name FROM MyTable t
-- Returns error The multi-part identifier "t.Id" could not be bound.
Related questions:
can SQL insert using select return multiple identities?
Possible to insert with a Table Parameter, and also retrieve identity values?
It can be achieved using MERGE INTO
and OUTPUT
:
MERGE INTO MyTable AS tgt
USING MyTable AS src ON 1=0 --Never match
WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN
INSERT (Name)
VALUES (src.Name)
OUTPUT
src.Id,
inserted.Id
INTO @idsMap;
