Question

I have 2 tables:

tab1 (field1, field2, field3)
tab2 (field1, field2,field3, field4)

I want to copy a record from tab1 to tab2 taking all the fields and adding a value for field4.

How can I select field1, field2 and field3 from tab2 and also add a value? I know that SELECT and VALUES in a INSERT query are mutually exclusive.

Thanks in advance.
Gustavo.

I don’t know Oracle, but in Ms SQL it works like this:

insert into tab2 (field1, field2, field3, field4)  select field1, field2, field3, 'New Value' from tab1
