Hi,

    I am writing a one-time proc to copy all records from one table to
another table with a commit level of 1 record.  I wrote a proc to do this
using a cursor and for loop but was wondering if there was an alternative
syntax for the insert using the current cursor?

    Ie.  Insert into table_A (select current record)

    Instead of having to use the VALUES syntax (the table has ALOT of
columns)


    Pretty much my purpose is to get the the table to re-fire an insert
trigger (trigger needed to be disables during the intial load).... so now I
am making a backup table and copying the records in one by one , commiting
each to get the trigger to complete for each row (the trigge fills other
tables etc).

    Any suggestions (and yes, I am in the manuals, but they only showing
thus far the VALUES syntax).....

Thanks,

    Hannah
