The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
Basically what you have already tried, but resolving the requirements
of the SQL to make it happen without syntax errors:
INSERT INTO TABLEB
SELECT
A.*
, CURRENT TIMESTAMP AS X1 /* X1 names a field in TABLEA */
, CAST(NULL AS CHAR(1)) AS X2 /* X2 names a field in TABLEA */
FROM TABLEB A /* _A_ is used as a correlation identifier,
enabling use of * to denote /all fields/
rather than naming them on the SELECT */
The CAST was used just to show how that might be done. It could just
as easily have been the literal ' ', either with or without a CAST. The
field names [AS X#] are optional, but I prefer to name them for clarity,
the same as they are named in the file which is the target of the insert.
