Description:
Insert into table1 SELECT * from table2 scrambles the order of the insert if if you
specify ORDER BY ID on table 2 ---

Insert from CSV does the same thing -- whether you specifiy record IDS or not, and let
autoincrement assign ID's.

When you insert records from another source, you want to keep the order.

Thanks.

How to repeat:
Insert into table1 SELECT * from table2

Suggested fix:
insert records from table 2 into table 1 without scrambling the order.

use inline view to solv the problem.
in from clause use inline view which can be use order by caluse & 
can be inserted successfully.

INSERT INTO TBLPROTOCOLPROCEDURES
      (
      field1, field2, field3,
      field4, field5, field6, field7,field8
      )
