Mark,
The other bit of my message said that you can't insert back into the same
table - because of, I assume, the scenario where you could get an infinite
loop. I should have made that more clear.
You CAN however insert into a second table - then put THAT back into the
first one.
I assume you are trying to insert back into the same table, you are
selecting from, in one step - it might have to be done programatically - or
via a temp table in two steps.

I just tried adding a WHERE clause but I still get capability not
supported, and also an additional error of "table does not exist:
errorins.db" ...
You may be able to suggest a different solution, I have a series of
tables that have lots of data mapped to a configuration, I wish to
"duplicate" this data with a new configuration id, so:
0, "fish", "red"
0, "cat", "brown"
becomes
0, "fish", "red"
0, "cat", "brown"
1, "fish", "red"
1, "cat", "brown"
I was hoping the INSERT INTO and the SELECT would work, but it's not
looking good (unless I'm still missing something blindingly obvious).
