You populate a queue tables in the same way you populate non-queue tables: with INSERT statements, INSERT … SELECT statements, or using a load utility like Teradata Parallel Data Pump or Teradata Parallel Transporter (using the STREAM and INSERT operators) that generates those statements.
You can use a simple INSERT … SELECT statement to populate a queue table from either a queue- or a non-queue table. You can also use an INSERT … SELECT AND CONSUME statement to populate a queue table with rows from another queue table.
Do not insert the QITS value, because the system inserts it by default using the value for CURRENT_TIMESTAMP.
Similarly, you do not insert the QSN value if your queue table uses a system-generated identity column.
The source table for an INSERT … SELECT statement can be either another queue table or a non-queue table.
The following example ANSI session mode transaction uses an INSERT statement and multiple INSERT … SELECT requests to insert several rows into a queue table named shopping_cart.
INSERT INTO shopping_cart (order_num, product, quantity)
VALUES ('I07219100', 'dozen baseballs' , 1);
INSERT INTO shopping_cart (order_num, product, quantity)
SELECT order_num, product, quantity
FROM mail_orders;
INSERT INTO shopping_cart (order_num, product, quantity)
SELECT order_num, product, quantity
FROM backorder_tbl
WHERE order_num = 'I00200314';
COMMIT;
