The SELECT clause can be any ordinary SELECT clause, that can return
multiple columns from a table. So for example:

INSERT INTO table (col1, col2) SELECT col1, col2 from table2;

Also, just like standard SELECT statements, the following would also work:

INSERT INTO table (col1, col2) SELECT col1, 100 FROM table2;
