Any ideas why the following code works in Oracle 8.0.5 but not in 8.1.7:
INSERT INTO table1
VALUES
(20,(SELECT max(mykey) FROM table2), 96, 2)

It's giving me ORA-00936 missing expression (even though the sub-query itself does actually return a single value)

This is the code i gave in my 8.1.7 db. It works perfectly. The error u are getting normally comes when u miss a clause or use a reserved word but u'r syntax looks fine.
Can't understand what the problem may be.
SQL> insert into dept values(90,(select max(sal) from emp),'vivek');
1 row created.
SQL> select * from dept;
DEPTNO DNAME LOC
---------- -------------- -------------
10 hh NEW YORK
20 RESEARCH DALLAS
30 SALES CHICAGO
40 OPERATIONS BOSTON
90 5000 vivek
