DB2 INSERT INTO vs SELECT INTO

In DB2 if you need to populate a table, you need to use INSERT INTO, like in this example:

INSERT INTO new_table
SELECT col1,col2 FROM source_table
WHERE col1='something';

and if you need to populate query variable, you need to use SELECT INTO, like in this example:

SELECT * INTO :var1, :var2, :var3FROM table_name
WHERE col1= 'something';
