Hello list,
I have a table that I want to insert records based on a criteria select.
The database colums are...
________________________________________
| | | |
code + contactno + note + source + date
_____|___________|______|________|______
my SQL statement is
INSERT INTO contactnotes (contactno, note, source, date)
SELECT code, 'show catalog sent to user' , 'catalogs' , '20000214'
FROM catalogs
WHERE country = 'US' AND show_qty = '1' AND completed != '1'
As you can see I'm not using INSERT INTO contactnotes (code, contactno, note
...)
I want code to AUTO_INCREMENT but it won't because the select statement
does't have a default value to insert into the column.
My question is if I use....
INSERT INTO contactnotes (code, contactno, note, source, date)
SELECT 'XXXX', code, 'show catalog sent to user' , 'catalogs' , '20000214'
FROM catalogs
WHERE country = 'US' AND show_qty = '1' AND completed != '1'
What value should XXXX in the SELECT statement be so that I would
AUTO_INCREMENT automatically. Or if their is another way.
Thanks N'Adv.
