From the oracle documentation, the below query explains it better
INSERT INTO tbl_temp2 (fld_id)
SELECT tbl_temp1.fld_order_id
FROM tbl_temp1 WHERE tbl_temp1.fld_order_id > 100;

Your query would be as follows
//just the concept
INSERT INTO quotedb
(COLUMN_NAMES) //seperated by comma
SELECT COLUMN_NAMES FROM tickerdb,quotedb WHERE quotedb.ticker = tickerdb.ticker
Note: Make sure the columns in insert and select are in right position as per your requirement
Hope this helps!
