Hello All-
I just read that an Insert ... Select naming the same table is not supported
in MySQL.
What is the alternative? What we need to do is simply insert the max of a
column + 1 to create essentially a counter in a situation where an
auto_increment counter would not work.
Anyone?
-Allon
use an auto_increment column.
Or if this is during an UPDATE
UPDATE tbl SET col = col + 1 WHERE ..;
