Re: SQL insert using select

maybe I'm oversimplyfying the task,
sure sounds to easy

after you insert the new records

update myfile
set clientnumber = 'x'
where clientnumber = 'n'

Hi,
I need to do this on a bunch of files :

insert into myfile
select *from myotherfile where clientnumber = 'n'

problem is, I want to set the clientnumber that is written to myfile to
'x'.

Possible?
