In SQL Server 2022, I run this code:
CREATE SEQUENCE myseqtest START WITH 1 INCREMENT BY 1; GO CREATE TABLE NewMonthSales (SaleID INT , SecondID int , saleyear INT , salemonth TINYINT , currSales NUMERIC(10, 2)); GO INSERT dbo.NewMonthSales (SaleID, SecondID, saleyear, salemonth, currSales) SELECT NEXT VALUE FOR myseqtest , NEXT VALUE FOR myseqtest , ms.saleyear , ms.salemonth , ms.currMonthSales FROM dbo.MonthSales AS ms; GO SELECT * FROM dbo.NewMonthSales AS nmsAssume the dbo.MonthSales table exists.
