Thread: INSERT value of type table

Hi,
I want know how we can insert values in the case where the type of column is
an othor table.
exemple:
CRETAE TABLE Address (Number integer, Street varchar, city varchar, contry
varchar);
CREATE TABLE Person (Name varchar, addr Address);
INSERT INTO addrerss VALUES ( 5, 'rue du pont',  'Lyon', 'France');
The question is :
How we can insert a new person whose address is that inserted in the
table of the addresses.

thank you for your help,

Mourad.

CREATE TABLE Address (Number integer PRIMARY KEY, Street varchar, City
varchar, Country varchar)
CREATE TABLE Person (Name varchar, addr integer REFERENCES TO Address)

this is called a FOREIGN KEY.. look at some doc for it. this is the way
Relational DB works
