OK,
I am the first one to admit I very rarely am called upon to write SQL,
so when some does come along I have to struggle.
What I need to do is insert some information into a table and include a
literal
This is what I have been trying but I just cannot get it to work. If I
take the task_status bit out (the value I am trying to insert into that
column is at the very bottom of the statement) then the whole thing
works like a charm
Please help, my brain is farting merrily on a Friday afternoon :-)
The error I get is ORA-00913: too many values. I realise this is because
I am trying to push too many values from my original select. I have
redone this lots of ways but still to no avail.
I realise I have to somehow pull the table values from the tables and
the literal from dual but I cannot figure out how.
INSERT INTO lr_build
(
num_build,
task_type,
task_name,
task_status
)
SELECT
(SELECT v.num_build num_build,
v.task_type task_type,
v.task_name task_name
FROM lr_task_stat v, leecvl c
WHERE c.VARIABLE_VALUE = 'P'
AND c.NUM_BUILD = v.num_build
AND c.TASK_TYPE = v.TASK_TYPE
AND c.TASK_NAME = v.TASK_NAME
AND NOT EXISTS
(SELECT 1 from lr_build b
WHERE b.NUM_BUILD = c.NUM_BUILD
AND b.TASK_TYPE = c.TASK_TYPE
AND b.TASK_NAME = c.TASK_NAME)),
'N Started' task_status
from dual
;
