I used to be able to return a constant value in a SELECT statement in
ORACLE. I need to populate a table for testing, and I was going to do so
like this:
SELECT
employee.id ,
project.proj_no ,
work_type.type ,
'rate' 1
FROM employee
CROSS JOIN project
CROSS JOIN work_type;
This statement works correctly, till I add the last "'rate' 1 line, then it
returns a syntax error.
How can I do this?
