RE: Update ALL colums without knowing their name??-correction
Hi, Thank you for your answer. Unfortunatelly I can't truncate, then insert into ... select ( I myself thought about it before )because the tables are always used ( there are always a few users connecting to database).

Then do a Delete from table; which will remove all rows while leaving the previous data for the other users until you commit; [EMAIL PROTECTED] 07/24/01 03:35PM Hi, Thank you for your answer.

RE: Update ALL colums without knowing their name??-correction
Hi, I don't know whether this will serve your needs ! If you are using oracle8i then you can make relation between this two tables by adding common column. And then giving statement (ex/ new_columns is the column relating two tables) Update Table1 a set a.Every_columns = ( Selectb.Every_columns from Table2where a.new_columns=b.new_columns ) where a.new_columns=(select b.new_columns from Table2where a.new_columns=b.new_columns . Then dropping that column named new_columns. I don't know how You can make a procedure with this? BFN.
