Re: HELP: How to duplicate rows...
u want something like this INSERT INTO table1 (field2, field3, field4) SELECT field2, field3, 'abcd' from table_name WHERE field2=x On 12/7/07, rfeio [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi! I have a table with several rows, some of which I need to duplicate. The fields of table1 are field1, field2, field3 and field4. Field1 is automatically incremented, field2 will serve as a filter condition. Normally to duplicate the rows that matched a certain condition I would do: INSERT INTO table1 (field2, field3, field4) SELECT field2, field3, field4 WHERE field2=x This way, I would duplicate the rows that matched the condition and field1 would get it's value automatically incremented by the system. The catch now is that I want the rows to be duplicated like before, but specifying field4 as abcd in all of them. How can I do this?
