Insert from Dynamic Query in Postgres

Question

With reference solution I've posted in my previous post resulted in one more situation. While trying to insert into my destination table(schema as below).

-- Table: normalized_transaction

-- DROP TABLE normalized_transaction;

CREATE TABLE normalized_transaction
(
  transaction_id uuid,
  file_id uuid,
  account_number character varying(40),
  currency character varying(3),
  trade_date date,
  value_date date,
  narration character varying(200),
  amount numeric,
  mesitis_account_number character varying(50),
  tag character varying(255),
  supporting_file_id uuid,
  supporting_record_id uuid,
  status integer DEFAULT 0,
  source_type integer,
  record_index integer DEFAULT 0
)

with using a query like

INSERT INTO normalized_transaction(account_number, currency, trade_date)
select gen_Test('english');
fetch all in english;

Result into error:

ERROR:  INSERT has more target columns than expressions
LINE 2: ...NSERT INTO normalized_transaction(account_number, currency, ...
                                                             ^
********** Error **********

ERROR: INSERT has more target columns than expressions
SQL state: 42601
Character: 53



select gen_Test('english');
    fetch all in english;

Just for Reference Output of above Query:

What is appropriate way to insert the result from this into table.

Answer 1

You could try like so:

INSERT INTO normalized_transaction(account_number, currency, trade_date)
SELECT foo.*
FROM gen_Test('english') as foo;
