Re: error: insert has more expressions than target column

I'm getting the same error without brackets.

The EXECUTE statement was because I read something
about executing dynamic content.

I want to add 7 days to the date value of startdate
and want to repeat it every week. Because there are 8
weeks I choose to do that with the for loop going from
0 to 7.

Thanks in advance
