Insert select

Question

i have an insert statement which wont run:
insert into <table> (value1, value2)
select val1, val2 **
union
select ***
union
select ***
Is there something wrong with this syntax? Should i encompass the select statements within () brackets? The insert does not seem to work.

Answer 1

Dont get one. The query runs for a while and then ends. I know it doesnt work because there is nothing in the table after the insert.
Here is the actual code
insert into final_ziplimit(plan_id, code, zip, radius, provider_count)
select network_hierarchy_id Plan_Id, category_id Code, zip, min(radius), min(Total)
from
select network_hierarchy_id, category_id, zip, radius, sum(prov_num) Total
from
with tree as
(select category_id, specialty_id, subspecialty_id, subsubspecialty_id
from category join specialty using (category_id)
join subspecialty using (specialty_id)
join subsubspecialty using (subspecialty_id)
nhzip as
(select network_hierarchy_id, zip, z.network_id, subsubspecialty_id, radius, prov_num
from network_hierarchy_detail nh, ziprange_loc_spec_join z
where nh.network_id = z.network_id
and z.zip between nh.beginning_zip_code and nh.ending_zip_code
select category_id, specialty_id, subspecialty_id, subsubspecialty_id, network_hierarchy_id, zip, network_id, radius, prov_num
from tree join nhzip using(subsubspecialty_id)
--order by network_hierarchy_id desc
group by network_hierarchy_id, category_id, zip, radius
having sum(prov_num) >= 300
group by network_hierarchy_id, category_id, zip
union
select network_hierarchy_id Plan_Id, specialty_id Code, zip, min(radius), min(Total)
from
select network_hierarchy_id , specialty_id , zip, radius, sum(prov_num) Total
from
with tree as
(select category_id, specialty_id, subspecialty_id, subsubspecialty_id
from category join specialty using (category_id)
join subspecialty using (specialty_id)
join subsubspecialty using (subspecialty_id)
nhzip as
(select network_hierarchy_id, zip, z.network_id, subsubspecialty_id, radius, prov_num
from network_hierarchy_detail nh, ziprange_loc_spec_join z
where nh.network_id = z.network_id
and z.zip between nh.beginning_zip_code and nh.ending_zip_code
select category_id, specialty_id, subspecialty_id, subsubspecialty_id, network_hierarchy_id, zip, network_id, radius, prov_num
from tree join nhzip using(subsubspecialty_id)
--order by network_hierarchy_id desc
group by network_hierarchy_id, specialty_id, zip, radius
