Your explanation is confusing to me, but
maybe this helps:

insert into alib/fileB
select NewField
from alib/fileA

BUT, I am not sure; maybe what you need to do is an update?

Subject: SQL insert syntax

Hi all,

Having trouble with the syntax of a simple insert.

I want to copy fileA to fileB after fileB has been modified so the first field is a new field. I want to put the same value into each row of the new field.

Something like :

Insert into fileB
Select 'Constant', fileB.* from fileB

Can someone put me right?
Thanks
