Hi. I have two tables

HostNameTable
Host ID PK
HostName

LogTable
Log ID PK auto Increment
HostID FK
Message

I need to do an insert onto the Log Table and reference the HostID of the HostTable that corresponds to the Name of the host.

Insert into LotTable (HostID, Message) values (select hsotid from hosttable where hostname = @host, "message string") does not work as a statement.

I am using TSQL
