Inserting Totals into tables

Question

I have this query that counts the total occurances of certain
selected field curr_loc :
<cfquery name="qryGet_Data" datasource="logistics">
select curr_loc, count(curr_loc) as total_count
from filename
where
curr_loc = 'DOCKR24' or
curr_loc = 'MIS778A' or
curr_loc = 'PROD-ID' or
curr_loc = 'R24INSP' or
curr_loc = 'RITHOLD' or
curr_loc = 'RIT-R24' or
curr_loc = 'SMC///A' or
curr_loc = 'STORERT'
group by curr_loc
order by curr_loc
</cfquery>
When I produce the report, it looks something like this,
which is what I want :
Current Location Total
DOCKR24 172
MIS778A 69
R24INSP 112
RITHOLD 39
RIT-R24 15
SMC///A 43
STORERT 16
I created a table on the sql server that looks like this :
1 month_day_year datetime 8
0 DOCKR24 numeric 9 1
0 MIS778A numeric 9 1
0 R24INSP numeric 9 1
0 RITHOLD numeric 9 1
0 RITR24 numeric 9 1
0 SMCA numeric 9 1
0 STORERT numeric 9 1
How do I get each of the total values inserted into the
corresponding fields/columns ?
For example, month_day_year would be todays_date (which I can
calculate). The first field DOCKR24 should contain the value 172,
the field MIS778A should contain the value 69, the field R24INSP
should contain the value 112, etc.
I have to run this process/procedure every day, so the next
day, I would have a new month_day_year value, plus a new total
count value for field DOCKr24, MIS778A, R24INSP, etc.. It will read
the same file every day (which will contain different data) and
calculate a new count for each curr_loc. If done correctly, I
should have 365 rows in my table, one for each day of the year.
Thanks for any help.

I haven't worked with SQL Server in a few years (been stuck
on Oracle for a while now), but I believe a simple "INSERT-SELECT"
statement is all you're going need here.
You don't even necessarily need to involve ColdFusion at all.
You could package this INSERT-SELECT statement into a stored
procedure and schedule it to run daily (with a DTS package
perhaps).
Here's a quick example based on the information you've
provided. My apologies if something is a smidge off with the
syntax.
