Hi

I do hope everyone is well.

I am trying to do an insert into sql statement within powerbuilder script. PB2019

 

I want to copy all the record from sales to sales_history - sales_history has all the fields of sales but in addition a archive_year and a archive_month field 

this is the sort of statement i think i need 

INSERT INTO sales_history (column1, column2, column3, :li_archive_year , :li_archive_month )
SELECT column1, column2, column3
FROM sales

Any help much appreciated

regards

 

Andrew

UPDATE - 

 So - pb2019 

dbase sqlanywhere16 - client machine

Not sure about SQLAnywhere syntax, but the following would work in MS SQL Server from PowerScript:

Integer li_year, li_month

li_year = Year(Today())
li_month = Month(Today())

INSERT INTO sales_history ( col1, col2, ..., coln, archive_year, archive_month)
SELECT col1, col2, ..., coln, :li_year, :li_month
  FROM sales
 USING SQLCA;

HTH, John

Hi Andrew,

I think John already gave you the correct answer, just to emphasize that your suggested code:

INSERT INTO sales_history (column1, column2, column3, :li_archive_year , :li_archive_month )
SELECT column1, column2, column3
FROM sales

is wrong. The li_archive_year and li_archive_month should be in the SELECT part and not where you've put it in the list of columns.

regards

Greetings, Andrew -

You did not give us much information...

What DBMS vendor and version? Local DB (on the same PC as the app) or remote? How many records will be archived? What PB version are you using? Is security/permissions an issue? If your DBMS supports stored procedures, I suggest you consider creating one to do this.

John, thanks

Just added the vendor infor to the quesiton - pb2019 - sqlanywhere 16 - client machine - i realise i could add a stored procedure - but i was hoping to just - run the sql statement

its about 4000 records - security not an issue
