AW: Cool but ugly SQL

Hi Matt and Dan,

This will not work...

With T1 as (Select...)
Insert into yourtable
Select * from T1

WITH is a part of the Select- and not of the Insert-Statement.

The correct syntax must be:
Insert into YourTable
   With T1 as (Select ....) 
   Select .... from T1 ...   

Be aware the fields selected in the SELECT-statement must match the fields
in the table to insert.

If not all fields are inserted, you have to specify the fields that will be
filled in the Insert statement.

Insert into YourTable
   (Field1, Field2, Field23, Field47)
   With T1 as (Select ....) 
   Select a, b, c, d from T1 ...   

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Try this:
With TempFile as (Select shh_lib, shh_file, shh_member,
max(char(shh_LCDate)
|| char(shh_LCTime)) as datetime from SRCMBRHASH group by shh_lib,
shh_file,
shh_member) select * from SRCMBRHASH a join TempFile b on a.shh_lib =
b.shh_lib and a.shh_file = b.shh_file and a.shh_member = b.shh_member

and

char(a.shh_LCDate || char(a.shh_LCTime) = b.datetime where etc...

Hope that helps.

Absolutely.  Wow.  I would have never found that on my own.  Is this
considered a subquery?

OK, this is almost complete now.  I figured it would be easy enough to
tack
on the INSERT INTO after I got the SELECT figured out.  I first tried
placing it between the "With ()" and "Select * from SRCMBRHASH" stuff,
but
got:
  Keyword INSERT not expected. Valid tokens: ( SELECT.

So I tried placing the INSERT INTO at the very beginning, before the
"With
()", but got:
  Token TEMPFILE was not valid. Valid tokens: ) ,.

Many, MANY thanks!
