Re: Insert based in a select

Im sorry but I didn't understand what you mean with the UPDATE.

Anyway, it don't apply to my point. I must do an insert in each row of my
ingresso table with his Id, some fields and the id of my cartao table.

You help is very welcomed but my solution doesn't came this time.

My best regards
Ezequias
