Howdy:
I know this will seem silly, but I'm trying to
make a copy of a table with a few modifications.
I have a table like so:
[snip]
Attribute | Type | Modifier
-----------+-------------------+----------
name | character varying |
riskgrp | character(12) |
address | character varying |
city | character varying |
state | character varying |
zip | character varying |
pcgname | character varying |
[/snip]
and i want to create a new table like so:
[snip]
Attribute | Type | Modifier
-----------+-------------------+----------
name | character varying |
riskgrp | character(12) |
address | character varying |
address2 | character varying |
city | character varying |
state | character varying |
zip | character varying |
pcgname | character varying |
mailcode | character(5) |
[/snip]
I can alter the table to add the two
new columns, but I wanted to know if
I can copy the data from the old table
into the new table and put the column
data in the appropriate places
(leaving column: address2 and mailcode empty)?
I have been trying something like:
[example]
insert into t2_ref_pcg_address
select name,riskgrp,address,,city,state,zi p,pcgname from t_ref_pcg_address;
[/example]
And
[example]
select
name,riskgrp,address,,city,state,zip,pcgname from t_ref_pcg_address into
t2_ref_pcg_address;
[/example]
Neither works.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
