SQL insert multiple values and parent id by selecting from same table

How do I insert multiple values and parent id by selecting from same table

I tried below and getting an error

INSERT IGNORE INTO ctg_tbl (`ctg_name`,`ctg_img`,`ctg_parent_id`)
VALUES 
('Gravy', 'GravyImg', (SELECT id FROM ctg_tbl WHERE ctg_name='Foods')),
('Curry', 'CurryImg', (SELECT id FROM ctg_tbl WHERE ctg_name='Foods')),
('Ball', 'BallImg', (SELECT id FROM ctg_tbl WHERE ctg_name='Games'))

MySQL said: Documentation #1093 – Table ‘ctg_tbl’ is specified twice, both as a target for ‘INSERT’ and as a separate source for data

Answer

Your query can be made to work by simply converting it to an INSERT INTO ... SELECT:

INSERT IGNORE INTO ctg_tbl (ctg_name, ctg_img, ctg_parent_id)
SELECT 'Gravy', 'GravyImg', id FROM ctg_tbl WHERE ctg_name = 'Foods'
UNION ALL
SELECT 'Curry', 'CurryImg', id FROM ctg_tbl WHERE ctg_name = 'Foods'
UNION ALL
SELECT 'Ball', 'BallImg', id FROM ctg_tbl WHERE ctg_name = 'Games';
