sql - SQLplus: how to insert only if one of the columns is unique -


i have table 10 columns total, , need grab 6 of columns , insert them new table if 1 of columns unique.

i understand that:

insert table_1(col1, col2, col3)     select distinct cola, colb, colc     table_2; 

will give me rows combination of a, b, c unique, want insert unique , data associated in other columns of row. i've found exists , group aren't super clear me.

i trying...

insert table_1 (col1, col2, col3)     select cola, colb, colc     table_2     not exists (select cola table_2); 

...cause me reads "insert cola, colb, , colc table_1 table_2 if cola not yet exist in table_2 i'm not sure if that's correct. thanks.

if "a unique" mean given value in "a" has 1 value, can use method:

insert table_1 (col1, col2, col3)     select cola, max(colb), max(colc)     table_2     group cola     having count(*) = 1; 

the having clause finds values in "a" appear once. when there 1 row, max(colb) , max(colc)` return values row.
