RE: SQL or not?

[Tom E Stieger <testieger@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think you have to do the default values in the select statement:

insert into filea (fld1, fld2, fld3, fld4, fld5)
Select fld1, fld2, fld3, fld4, fld5, 0, 0, ' ', CURRENT_DATE, ' ' from fileb where <...>

Or maybe:

insert into filea (fld1, fld2, fld3, fld4, fld5, 0, 0, ' ', CURRENT_DATE, '
')
select * from fileb where <...>

So fields 6 thru 10 get default values - they are not being used for this process anyway.

Can't try as not connected to a box right now....
