On multi-table join only one table could be involved in outer join.

SQL Insert question

2002-02-07 Thread iashraf

Hi ,

this is puzzling me..

i have following table

table name = Sierras.
Columns =
regno,
platfrom,
cost ,
licence_ref
renewal_data

i split this table up into 2:

1. Softwares
cols=
id,
regno,
platfrom,

2. Licences
id,
cost ,
licence_ref,
renewal_data,

i have a third table, a link table between softwares and licences

cols=
id,
licence_id,
software_id
i want to populate this table with the ids from softwares and licences, so
that if joined together 1 row would reflect a row in the old table sierras.
What query can i write for this??

hope all that makes sense!

regards
IA

insert into link_table (licence_id, software_id)
select l.id, s.id
from softwares s,
 licences l,
 sierras o
where l.licence_ref = o.licence_ref
  and l.renewal_data = o.renewal_data

I don't see why you need any 'id' column in the link table.
