RE: RE: RE: SQL Insert question

This does look cool... but I'm doing an UPDATE of file YY in this case.
Can this still work?

I think I would use SQL in one statement:

insert into xx (
select * from final insert into yy values ....
);

this will copy the new generated row from yy and put it into xx

If you're not comfortable with Python, just use SQL in your favorite tool
(ACS, DBeaver, SQL Workbench/J) and query the SYSCOLUMNS table.
You can order by COLUMN_NAME or ORDINAL position as best suits your need.
Easy to copy/paste out of those tools or export to a text file.

You can make it USROPN and open/close at will.

Buck, thanks for the suggestion. I often manipulate text strings with

Notepad++ for things like this.

I wouldn't know how to use your Python script - I'm clueless here.

Would like to learn though.

Much of the Python/PASE discussion seems to happen over on Ryver, but
I'd be happy to work on a thread either in the main Midrange list, or
the Open Source list.
