I have a table "Accountpay" with 50 field names.
every row has AUTO ID(primary key) (automatically generates the ID ).
I wanna copy all the field names in that table and insert them in the same table. but I am getting problem with the AUTO ID.
I am using this sql
insert into Accountpay
values( select * from Accountpay where columnname = '123')

Here is one of method,
1. Create a duplicate table.
e.g
CREATE TABLE Accountpay1 AS SELECT * FROM Accountpay;
2. Change the AUTO ID to difference number for duplicate table and insert back into this table.
INSERT INTO Accountpay
SELECT * FROM Accountpay1 WHERE columnname = '123'
3. Reset your auto generated AUDO ID. e.g Usually reset the sequence number to prevent constraint error in future inserting.
Note: Other method is using cursor and you need PL/SQL programming.
Hope this is helping.
