insert/select has a different syntax than what you are trying to use.

try

insert into table_name (place, address, number) select "stuff", "stuff2", this from that where one=two

i may yet have the syntax wrong, but its close.

insert into the_db (place,address,number) values("stuff","stuff2",select
this from that where one=two);

i tried ()s around the 'select....' too but it didn't work.
