Juerg, is a_id your primary key? My examples are based on this assumption, but if it is not, you still get the point, which is: You can't use SELECT * here. If you know the new a_id in advance: INSERT INTO auftrag (a_id, col2, col3, ...) SELECT '67890', col2, col3, ... FROM auftrag WHERE a_id = '12345'; If a_id is a serial or in any other way supplied automatically by a DEFAULT clause or a trigger: INSERT INTO auftrag (col2, col3, ...) SELECT col2, col3, ... FROM auftrag WHERE a_id = '12345'; HTH. Servus Manfred ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
