How to Insert Multiple Values Into Multiple Tables in SQL Server

Use the OUTPUT clause with INSERT INTO statement to insert multiple values into multiple tables in the SQL server

Example

In this example, we will insert multiple values into two tables using an INSERT INTO statement with OUTPUT clause.

First we are creating 2 sample tables using the below queries:

CREATE TABLE GeekTable1 (
  Id1 INT,
  Name1 VARCHAR(200),
  City1 VARCHAR(200)
);

an 

CREATE TABLE GeekTable2 (
  Id2 INT,
  Name2 VARCHAR(200),
  City2 VARCHAR(200)
);

GO

Now, let us Insert values into two tables together:

INSERT INTO GeekTable1 (Id1, Name1, City1)
OUTPUT inserted.Id1, inserted.Name1, inserted.City1
INTO GeekTable2
VALUES (1, 'Komal', 'Delhi'),
       (2, 'Khushi', 'Noida');

GO

Select data from both the tables:

SELECT * FROM GeekTable1;
GO
SELECT * FROM GeekTable2;
GO

Output: When we run the above query, we will see that there are two rows each in the table:

GeekTable1:

GeekTable2:
