Solution 1

You can do a INSERT ... SELECT

SQL

INSERT INTO tbl (name,address,zipcode) SELECT myname,'My manual entered address','5500' FROM nametbl WHERE age > 12

Inserting Data from Other Tables[^] or MySql INSERT ... SELECT Syntax[^]

INSERT INTO tbl (name) SELECT myname FROM nametbl
is ok.but i also want to insert another column value (address) into tb1, which not exists in nametb1.

See updated answer. You can combine the SELECT statement as you like.

Solution 2

Assuming that 'manually' means 'manually specified fixed values', here's an example:

SQL

insert into DestinationTable (
    copy_column_1
,   copy_column_2
,   manual_column_1
,   manual_column_2)
   select
        copy_column_1
    ,   copy_column_2
    ,   'manual_value_1'
    ,   'manual_value_2'
    from SourceTable

Edit: fixed syntax error
