Use same value in Insert (SQL) - sql

Question

I write a script to populate the database with values
Here is script row
INSERT INTO AbpUsers(EmailAddress, IsActive, IsDeleted, IsEmailConfirmed, Name, NormalizedEmailAddress, NormalizedUserName, Surname, UserName, AccessFailedCount, CreationTime, IsLockoutEnabled, IsPhoneNumberConfirmed, IsTwoFactorEnabled, Password, ShouldChangePasswordOnNextLogin)
VALUES
('faithsdispatching#yahoo.com', 1, 0, 1, '', UPPER (EmailAddress), '', '', '', 0, GETDATE(), 1, 1, 0, 'AQAAAAEAACcQAAAAEHriGqDq6AuQs33CBdyNdwuiZboPua2e6aXn9MjB/qzo44kbXAAsIY77BIfzKLJD1Q==', 0)
For NormalizedEmailAddress field I need to use EmailAddress to Upper
I try to use this UPPER (EmailAddress) but get this error
Line 1: Invalid column name 'EmailAddress'.
Any ideas on how I can use EmailAddress column?

Answer 1

I don't think what you're asking is possible at the moment.
As a quick workaround, you can insert your data into a temporary table, run the UPPER() command on the column to hit them all at once, and then SELECT INTO your desired table from your temporary table.
CREATE TABLE #TemporaryAbpUsers
(
EmailAddress...,
IsActive...
);
INSERT INTO #AbpUsers(EmailAddress, IsActive, IsDeleted, IsEmailConfirmed, Name, NormalizedEmailAddress, NormalizedUserName, Surname, UserName, AccessFailedCount, CreationTime, IsLockoutEnabled, IsPhoneNumberConfirmed, IsTwoFactorEnabled, Password, ShouldChangePasswordOnNextLogin)
VALUES
('faithsdispatching#yahoo.com', 1, 0, 1, '', 'faithsdispatching#yahoo.com', '', '', '', 0, GETDATE(), 1, 1, 0, 'AQAAAAEAACcQAAAAEHriGqDq6AuQs33CBdyNdwuiZboPua2e6aXn9MjB/qzo44kbXAAsIY77BIfzKLJD1Q==', 0);
UPDATE #TemporaryAbpUsers
SET NormalizedEmailAddress = UPPER(NormalizedEmailAddress);
SELECT * INTO AbpUsers
FROM #TemporaryAbpUsers;

Answer 2

Just change UPPER(EmailAddress) to UPPER ('faithsdispatching#yahoo.com')
INSERT INTO AbpUsers(EmailAddress, IsActive, IsDeleted, IsEmailConfirmed, Name, NormalizedEmailAddress, NormalizedUserName, Surname, UserName, AccessFailedCount, CreationTime, IsLockoutEnabled, IsPhoneNumberConfirmed, IsTwoFactorEnabled, Password, ShouldChangePasswordOnNextLogin)
VALUES
('faithsdispatching#yahoo.com', 1, 0, 1, '', UPPER ('faithsdispatching#yahoo.com'), '', '', '', 0, GETDATE(), 1, 1, 0, 'AQAAAAEAACcQAAAAEHriGqDq6AuQs33CBdyNdwuiZboPua2e6aXn9MjB/qzo44kbXAAsIY77BIfzKLJD1Q==', 0)

Answer 3

Use a variable for EmailAddress
DECLARE #EmailAddress NVARCHAR(100);
SET #EmailAddress = N'faithsdispatching#yahoo.com';
INSERT INTO AbpUsers(EmailAddress, IsActive, IsDeleted, IsEmailConfirmed, Name, NormalizedEmailAddress, NormalizedUserName, Surname, UserName, AccessFailedCount, CreationTime, IsLockoutEnabled, IsPhoneNumberConfirmed, IsTwoFactorEnabled, Password, ShouldChangePasswordOnNextLogin)
VALUES
(#EmailAddress, 1, 0, 1, '', UPPER(#EmailAddress), '', '', '', 0, GETDATE(), 1, 1, 0, 'AQAAAAEAACcQAAAAEHriGqDq6AuQs33CBdyNdwuiZboPua2e6aXn9MjB/qzo44kbXAAsIY77BIfzKLJD1Q==', 0);
For multiple inserts, then you could try an Insert-From-Select-From-Values.
INSERT INTO AbpUsers(EmailAddress, IsActive, IsDeleted, IsEmailConfirmed, Name, NormalizedEmailAddress, NormalizedUserName, Surname, UserName, AccessFailedCount, CreationTime, IsLockoutEnabled, IsPhoneNumberConfirmed, IsTwoFactorEnabled, Password, ShouldChangePasswordOnNextLogin)
SELECT EmailAddress, IsActive, IsDeleted, IsEmailConfirmed, Name,
UPPER(EmailAddress) AS NormalizedEmailAddress,
NormalizedUserName, Surname, UserName, AccessFailedCount, CreationTime, IsLockoutEnabled, IsPhoneNumberConfirmed, IsTwoFactorEnabled, Password, ShouldChangePasswordOnNextLogin
FROM (VALUES
('faithsdispatching#yahoo.com', 1, 0, 1, '', '', '', '', 0, GETDATE(), 1, 1, 0, 'AQAAAAEAACcQAAAAEHriGqDq6AuQs33CBdyNdwuiZboPua2e6aXn9MjB/qzo44kbXAAsIY77BIfzKLJD1Q==', 0)
, ('hellbendingsextra#funky.net', 1, 0, 1, '', '', '', '', 0, GETDATE(), 1, 1, 0, 'AQBBBBEAACcQAAAAEHriGqDq6AuQs33CBdyNdwuiZboPua2e6aXn9MjB/qzo44kbXAAsIY77BIfzKLJD2Q==', 0)
, ('yellowriverfishing#asia.org', 1, 0, 1, '', '', '', '', 0, GETDATE(), 1, 1, 0, 'AQCCCCEAACcQAAAAEHriGqDq6AuQs33CBdyNdwuiZboPua2e6aXn9MjB/qzo44kbXAAsIY77BIfzKLJD3Q==', 0)
) q(EmailAddress, IsActive, IsDeleted, IsEmailConfirmed, Name,
NormalizedUserName, Surname, UserName, AccessFailedCount, CreationTime, IsLockoutEnabled, IsPhoneNumberConfirmed, IsTwoFactorEnabled, Password, ShouldChangePasswordOnNextLogin)
