postgresql multiple insert with select query

Question

i need to perform a insert query for multiple rows whereby the first column is a numeric and identical value and the second values are queried from another table.

something like

insert into table (33, select col2 from another_table);

can this be accomplished with a single statement?

in this example, the table being inserted must have only two fields: one that will receive the numeric and another of the same type as col2 from another_table

I was wondering if there was a possibility to specify columns explicitly like: insert into table (id, col2_name) values((select 33, col2 from another_table)) ?

If you want to specify columns in your insert query, you should use this syntax:

INSERT INTO table (id, col2_name) (SELECT 33, col2 FROM another_table);
