>From my experince this is not possible. Is there any reason why you can not simply do two inserts following each other? INSERT INTO table1(column1) SELECT column1a FROM table2 WHERE [something] INSERT INTO table1(column2) VALUES(valueFromMemory) (as if you didnt know that already) =D There should be no reason why you couldnt do this as there is nothing that ties the two columns together (that I can see here). Maybe explain a bit more and we might be able to give you more info.
