Question

I am trying to come up with a DB2 SQL statement that does the following, but I am not sure
if this is allowed.

I know that it’s possible to insert into tableA ( ... ) Values (?,?,?,...)
and then assign values to those parameters ?.

Is it possible to pre-defined the value of one of the parameter?

For example, one of the column that I am trying to insert is the ID column and I would like to make it something like select max(id) + 1 from tableA.

This is what I am trying to get to – is this syntax possible in db2?

insert into tableA (ID, Text1, Text2) VALUES (select max(id)+1 from tableA, ?, ?)

Anyways – any help would be appreciated!

thanks!!

Answer 1

this should works :

 insert into tableA values((select max(id)+1 from tableA),'text1','text')
