I have 3 tablesI need to enter primary keys of the 2 tables into the third table as followsInsert into table3 (fld1, fld2) Values ((Select table1PK from table1 where fld3 ='text1'), (Select table2PK from table2 where fld4 ='text2')) I get the following error"Subqueries are not allowed in this context. Only scalar expressions are allowed."Is there a solution to this problem?Alternatively, I can store the output of the two select statement in variables and then use the variables to insert records into the third table.But the problem is I am writing a sql script. The third table is basically a relation table between the first two tables.So, I don't want to define varibles for each sql statement. Do we have a better solution?Thanks in AdvanceMichael |

Insert into table3 (fld1, fld2) select (Select table1PK from table1 where fld3 ='text1'), (Select table2PK from table2 where fld4 ='text2')==========================================Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.DTS can be used in a similar way.Beer is not cold and it isn't fizzy. |
