Hello All

I am using the following statement to insert some records but I am getting syntax errors:-

INSERT INTO organisation_links (organisation_number_1, organisation_number_2, relationship, amended_on, amended_by)
VALUES (105, 19219, 'BRAN', '01/12/2007', 'Jon')
WHERE
select
from organisations
where organisation_number_1 IN (105, 124, 125, 265)

What I am trying to achieve is this:-

Organisation_number_2 is always 19219
Organisation_number_1 varies (e.g. 105, 124, 125, 265 etc).

So, I am trying to say add the value of 'BRAN' to all the Organisation_number_1 values

I can see why there is a problem (i.e. I am specifying 1 value for Organisation_number_1 in line 3) and then trying to do my select further down on multiple values - BUT, I don't know how to rectify it!

Ant help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Jon

Try

INSERT INTO organisation_links (organisation_number_1, organisation_number_2, relationship, amended_on, amended_by)
select organisation_number_1,19219, 'BRAN', '01/12/2007', 'Jon' from organisations
