Your SELECT 10 FROM …. Is actually looking for a column named 10 from the sys_forms3 table.
Try INSERT INTO SVRTestData (IntColumn) SELECT SYS_ODBC_TYPE FROM SYS_COLUMNS WHERE LIMIT = 1 SYS_ODBC_TYPE datatype is INTEGER From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Albert Berry Sent: Tuesday, May 19, 2015 11:03 AM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: Using INSERT. . . SELECT on server table. Just a thought -- is the SQL Server looking in its own table list for SYS_FORMS3?

However, when I issue the command INSERT INTO SVRTestData (IntColumn) SELECT 10 FROM SYS_FORMS3 WHERE LIMIT = 1 which should do exactly the same thing, I get the error Resources required by the command are not available. What do I need to do in order to insert data from an R:Base table into a server table (and, of course, vice-versa). My goal is to pump rather substantial number of records back and forth; this is just the simplest case I could create. -- Larry -- A democracy ..." can only exist until the majority discovers it can vote itself largess out of the public treasury."
