    Perhaps by naming the columns you want to insert?

    Don't be that lazy and take a look at INSERT statement syntax then come up with something.

    however here it is one:

    INSERT INTO tableX (column1,column2 ) select column1,
    column2 from TableY;

    ARE you oracle guy? IF yes, it’s very misfortune that you do not know insert statement syntax, better join a training center or read oracle documentation.
