Multiple SQL scripts...

Hello

I am using the following SQL which allows me to add "relationships" to records within our database:-

INSERT INTO organisation_links (organisation_number_1, organisation_number_2, relationship, amended_on, amended_by)
VALUES (2420, 19219, 'BRAN', '01/12/2007', 'Jon')

Basically, I would like to add the relationship of BRAN to multiple values of organisation_number_1 and am trying to find a way around copying the entire script many times and changing the e.g. 2420 number to other numbers.

The values for organisation_number_1 are not necessarily sequential.

The organisations_number_1 value can be found in the organisations table.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Many thanks

Jon

You mean something like this?

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

For answering this we need your business rules which determine what records from organisations table are to be related to BRAN. Can you post the rules and also table structure of organisations table?

Hi Both,

Thanks for your help.

I think harsh_athalye is along the right lines of what I want to do.

organisation_number_1 equals, for example, the following values - 32005, 32006, 32027, 32034, 32041, 32042 etc...

So, should the script read something like this?

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 where organisation_number IN (32005, 32006, 32027, 32034, 32041, 32042)

Thanks for your continued help.

Jon

Yes you can do that if there is no other way or pattern in filtering organisation_number_1 column.
