MySQL INSERT … SELECT multiple rows



I've been searching the MySQL documentation, Google and Stackoverflow, but I couldn't find the solution which suits my needs.



I have 2 tables:
Contract: contract_id, contract_client_id, contract_property_id, contract_tenant_id, contract_startdate, contract_enddate, contract_price



Ledger: ledger_id, ledger_trans_date, ledger_period, ledger_property_id, ledger_tenant_id, ledger_value



I want to populate the ledger with some columns from the contract table and used the following statement:


INSERT INTO ledger (ledger_trans_date, ledger_period, ledger_property_id,
ledger_tenant_id, ledger_value)
VALUES ('01-08-2018', '01-08-2018', (SELECT contract_property_id,
contract_tenant_id, contract_price FROM contract));



But I get the following error: Error Code: 1136. Column count doesn't match value count at row 1.



I tried this one as well:


INSERT INTO ledger (ledger_trans_date, ledger_period, ledger_property_id,
ledger_tenant_id, ledger_value)
VALUES ('01-08-2018', '01-08-2018',
(SELECT contract_property_id FROM contract),
(SELECT contract_tenant_id FROM contract),
(SELECT contract_price FROM contract));



But than I get the following error: Error Code: 1242. Subquery returns more than 1 row.



I hope someone can help me ahead and tell me where I went wrong...
In case you need more info, please don't hesitate to ask.



Thanks a lot in advance.

Do it like this:


INSERT INTO ledger (ledger_trans_date, ledger_period, ledger_property_id,
ledger_tenant_id, ledger_value)
SELECT '2018-08-01', '2018-08-01', contract_property_id,
contract_tenant_id, contract_price FROM contract;





This gives a syntax error: Error Code 1064. If I understood the documentation correct this is due to the fact of VALUES (SELECT '01-08-2018', '01-08-2018' ... as the dates are a string... Correct me if I misunderstood.

Wrong date format, it should be 'YYYY-MM-DD' . Rest is fine.

That doesn't solve the syntax error. I did it according to the code above you sent and change it to 2018-08-01.

Then please check if ledger_trans_date and ledger_period are in date/datetime format or not?

ledger_trans_date


ledger_period





@Dennis Did you checked?

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Firebase Auth - with Email and Password - Check user already registered I want to check when a user attempts to signup with createUserWithEmailAndPassword() in Firebase user Authentication method, this user is already registered with my app. createUserWithEmailAndPassword() 8 Answers 8 To detect whether a user with that email address already exists, you can detect when the call to createUserWithEmailAndPassword () fails with auth/email-already-in-use . I see that @Srinivasan just posted an answer for this. createUserWithEmailAndPassword () auth/email-already-in-use Alternatively, you can detect that an email address is already used by calling fetchSignInMethodsForEmail() (previous called fetchProvidersForEmail() ). fetchSignInMethodsForEmail() fetchProvidersForEmail() When the user trying to create an user with same email address, the task response will be "Response: The email address is already in use by another account." mFirebas...

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Dynamically update html content plain JS So I have a script bound in my index.html, which literally has to fetch an array of jsons from an api, then dynamically update my page when get response. But as a result I'm getting an as the only update of my page. here is my script fetch(url) .then((resp) => resp.json()) .then((resp) => resp.results.forEach(item => fetch(item.url) .then((response)=> response.json()) .then((response) => pokeArr.push(response)) .catch(console.log) ) ).catch(console.log) const filler = () => if(!pokeArr) return 0 pokeArr.map((i,j)=> return `<tr>$i.name</tr>` ) const pokeindex = () => document.getElementById('a').appendChild(document.createElement(filler())) pokeindex() When I'm consoling it, I can see in the console all the responses I get, so I'm at least doing the fetching part right. What's parberakan ? What's pokeArr ? – T.J. Crowder Aug 8 at 12...

Creating a leaderboard in HTML/JS

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Creating a leaderboard in HTML/JS I'm trying to create a top 10 leaderboard, for now, I've only implemented 3 players, but I'm coming across an issue. My script doesn't seem to be outputting anything on webpage. The purpose of the script is to compare 3 arrays, player1,player2,and player3 solely based off of score. Which is the 2nd index of each array. I want the script to list the players in order of highest score. This method doesn't really seem to be efficient, especially when I'll have to add 7 more players. Could someone suggest perhaps an easier approach, as well as show me why my script wont output the info. Here's the JS function leaderboard() { var player1 = name:"Thomas",date:"01/23/18",score:"201"; var player2 = name:"Michael",date:"03/24/17",score:"943"; var player3 = Name:"Lisa",date:"06/04/18",Score:"79"; if(player1[2]...
