You can do it, but you don't use a VALUES clause. Put all the values
in the SELECT statement.
For example, if you want set set columns a, b, c in table2 to
the contants 1, 2, and 3, and set the columns d, e, and f to
columns g, h, and i from table1, you'd do this:
INSERT INTO table2 (a, b, c, d, e, f) SELECT 1, 2, 3, g, h, i FROM table1
