the result is a text file in the format of "Insert Into..." statements, i.e.
if the table has 5 rows, the result would be 5 lines of :
insert into Table ([field1], [field2], ... VALUES a,b,c)
insert into Table ([field1], [field2], ... VALUES d, e, f)
insert into Table ([field1], [field2], ... VALUES g, h, i)
insert into Table ([field1], [field2], ... VALUES j, k, l)
insert into Table ([field1], [field2], ... VALUES m, n, o)

SELECT ABC, XYZ from TABLE2 where bla bla
or
INSERT INTO TABLE1(A,B,C)
SELECT X,Y, 'some static text' FROM TABLE2
the number of columns must tally

select 'insert into table (id, name, phone) values (' +
cast(id as varchar(10)) + ',' +
quotename(name,'''') + ',' +
quotename(phone,'''') + ')'
from namelist
results:
insert into table (id, name, phone) values (1, 'James', 'Smith')
insert into table (id, name, phone) values (2, 'John', 'O''Kieth')
