This is easy enough task under sql management studio. I clicked on edit top 200 rows. And entered first set of values as:
Everything should be same except Index and rollnumber
Index class rollnumber age
1 A 1 10
2 A 2 10
3 A 3 10
...
10 A 10 10
Problem i am having is:
I copied first row and pasted in second row and when i try to change it in sql editor i am unable to.
Can anyone please tell me what is the best way to do this through sql editor?
Or if there is easier way to do SQL insert in this case?

Answer 1

You can make sql queries and execute it in editor.
insert into table values( 1, A, 1, 10);
insert into table values( 2, A, 2, 10);
insert into table values( 3, A, 3, 10);
insert into table values( 4, A, 4, 10);
insert into table values( 5, A, 5, 10);
insert into table values( 6, A, 6, 10);
insert into table values( 7, A, 7, 10);
insert into table values( 8, A, 8, 10);
insert into table values( 9, A, 9, 10);
insert into table values( 10, A, 10, 10);

Answer 2

Try to copy it without the Index field if you have it as primary key.

Answer 3

I assume the Index is an IDENTITY column. The database will assign the value
There may be gaps: this is the nature of IDENTITY colums
In this case, learning to use the raw SQL INSERT will help: you have far more control over what you do. SET IDENTITY_INSERT will allow you to override the identity property

Answer 4

You could do this as a quick SQL Statement (assuming your first column is an IDENTITY column):
INSERT INTO dbo.YourTableName(class,rollnumber,age)
VALUES ('A', 10, 10),
('A', 11, 10),
('A', 12, 10)
This format is easy to copy and paste individual values into until you have all f them accounted for, then can be run once to put them in (or saved and rerun in other environments).
If the index column is not an IDENTITY column but is instead just a UNIQUE column that it is giving you an error on, you can specify it as a column and provide additional unique values like so:
INSERT INTO dbo.YourTableName(index, class,rollnumber,age)
VALUES (10, 'A', 10, 10),
(11, 'A', 11, 10),
(12, 'A', 12, 10)

Answer 5

If your Index column is a primary key with Identity, you could use the following to create N - 1 rows:
DECLARE #Counter int;
SET #Counter = 0;
WHILE (#Counter < 10)
BEGIN
INSERT INTO table ([class],[rollnumber],[age]) VALUES ('A',##IDENTITY + 1,10)
SET #Counter = #Counter + 1
END
This also assumes that rollnumber must be equal to your index.
