Unfortunately, not all statements that you can run from the command line in MySQL's SQL dialect will work, even via the Tools/Extras - SQL menu entry. You should try and make your SQL statement more standards SQL compliant, the baseline for LO being ANSI SQL 1999, I think (but don't quote me on it). Ultimately, you will probably have to try and reformulate your statement in a way that LO understands, however, this may, or may not actually be possible, at least not in the way in you want. > As a long-time systems "nurd" I myself don't mind entering the statement > from a mysql-client command-line.

Agreed, but I'm afraid that LO still lacks the desired feature set for that. > SQL queries should be able to cover statements as the one above.

Currently, the best way to achieve what you are looking for, if a SQL INSERT SELECT statement is not accepted, is to use Basic, or another programming language that interfaces with LO to produce what you want and the use form elements to associate that with the execution of the script.
