Insert Distinct Column Value From One Table to Another Table in SQL

Now see all the records in my Employee Table.


Figure 1: Employee Table

Now select Distinct Manager from this table as in the following:


Figure 2: Select a name

Now write your SQL statement to achieve our desired functionality:

INSERT INTO Manager(ManagerName)
SELECT DISTINCT ManagerName
FROM Employee
WHERE ManagerName NOT IN(SELECT ManagerName FROM Manager);

Figure 4: Execute Query

Now select records from the manager table:


Figure 5: Select Record

If you hit this Query again then it will not insert any duplicate records into the Manager records and if a new manager name is to be inserted into the Employee table then it will insert that newly added manager name:
