After running this query I am getting Result properly:

SELECT REGEXP_REPLACE(REGEXP_SUBSTR(TBLUSERACTIVITIES.ACTION, 'Event [0-9]+'),'Event ') as EventId1, REGEXP_REPLACE(REGEXP_SUBSTR(TBLUSERACTIVITIES.ACTION, 'Event [0-9]+',1,2,'i'),'Event ') as EventId2 FROM EAITEMP.TBLUSERACTIVITIES TBLUSERACTIVITIES

Out Put :

EventID1 | EventID2
123 | 235

But While running this query i am getting error as :

Error report:
SQL Error: ORA-00936: missing expression
00936. 00000 -  "missing expression"
*Cause:
*Action:

insert into EAITEMP.TBLUSERACTIVITIES(EventID1, EventID2) values(SELECT REGEXP_REPLACE(REGEXP_SUBSTR(TBLUSERACTIVITIES.ACTION, 'Event [0-9]+'),'Event ') as EventId1, REGEXP_REPLACE(REGEXP_SUBSTR(TBLUSERACTIVITIES.ACTION, 'Event [0-9]+',1,2,'i'),'Event ') as EventId2 FROM EAITEMP.TBLUSERACTIVITIES TBLUSERACTIVITIES);

Solution 1

You should not use the VALUES clause with INSERT INTO .... SELECT

Try this syntax:

SQL

INSERT INTO Table1 (Col1, Col2)
SELECT Col1, Col2 FROM Table2
