Hello everyone:

From the help files in sql 2000:

INSERT INTO archivetitles
(title_id, title, type, pub_id)
SELECT title_id, title, type, pub_id
FROM titles
WHERE (pub_id = '0766')

How would I modify this if the table archivetitles had columns:
titleid, title, newcolumn, type, pub_id
and I wanted the newcolumn value to be null, but I still wanted to select the values from titles?

INSERT INTO archivetitles
(title_id, title, newcolumn, type, pub_id)
SELECT title_id, title, NULL, type, pub_id
FROM titles
WHERE (pub_id = '0766')

This seems like a homework question...
