how to add an new record from part of an old one - Mailing list pgsql-sql

Hi there

I need to half copy and insert new data in a new record. Please see the SQL
statement, that is not working, but i think is shows what I'd like to do.
The fields a_nr and a_kurzbez will get the values from a form and a_bez
needs to be copied from an existing auftrag.

Thanks for any help ... jr


insert into auftrag (a_nr, a_kurzbez) values (123456789, 'testtext')
(select a_bez from auftrag where a_nr='200113672732')
