插入截取字符串
table1:   
 co1 
 ab 
 df     
 table2 
 co2 
 abc 
 efg 
 hij 
 mno 
 如何插入根据table2中co2字段中前两位在   table1   中没有的hi   和mn 
 两条记录。 
 最好用   if   exists()   begin 
 insert 
------解决方案--------------------insert into table1 
 select left(col2,2) from table2 b 
 where not exists(select 1 from table1 a where a.col1=left(b,2))
------解决方案--------------------insert into table1 
 select left(co2,2) from table2 b 
 where not exists(select 1 from table1 a where a.co1=left(b.co2,2))
------解决方案--------------------或者   
 if not exists(select 1 from table1 a where co1 in ( 'hi ', 'mn '))  
 begin 
 	insert into table1 
 	select  'hi ' union select  'mn ' 
 end
------解决方案--------------------if exists(select 1 from table2 where left(co2,2) not in(select co1 from table1)) 
 begin 
   insert table1(co1) select distinct left(col2,2)  
   where left(co2,2) not in(select co1 from table1)) 
 end
------解决方案--------------------gahade(与君共勉)正确但楼主意思不甚明确,补充一句
------解决方案--------------------insert into table1 
 select left(co2,2) from (select case when left(co2,1)= 'h ' then  'h ' when left(co2,1)= 'm ' then left(co2,3) else co2 end from table2)b 
 where not exists(select 1 from table1 a where a.co1=left(b.co2,2))
------解决方案--------------------insert into table1 
 select left(co2,2) from table2 b 
 where not exists(select 1 from table1 a where a.co1=left(b.co2,2))
------解决方案--------------------insert into table1 
 select case left(co2,1) when  'h ' then left(co2,1) when  'm ' then left(co2,3) else left(co2,2) end  
 from table2 b 
 where not exists(select 1 from table1 a where a.co1=case left(co2,1) when  'h ' then left(co2,1) when  'm ' then left(co2,3) else left(co2,2) end)
