Question

I’m getting ORA-00947: not enough values from the query below:

insert into tableb
(colA, colb, colc, cold)
select
(select max(rec_no)+1 from tableb)
F2,
F3,
F4
from tablea;

Can someone point me to the correct way to include a sub query for an inser into/select statement?

Thanks

Answer 1

You are just missing a comma. As it is, Oracle thinks F2 is the name of your sub-select.

insert into tableb
(colA, colb, colc, cold)
select
(select max(rec_no)+1 from tableb) ,   -- comma here
F2,
F3,
F4
from tablea;
