hello,

i want to insert values to a field called ( comment ) in a table called ( group ) only when code_Comm is = 6
this is what i wrote:

insert when ( code_Comm = 6 )
then
into group (comment)
values('good')

its giving me the following error: ORA - 00925: missing INTO keyword.

what am i doing wrong?
thank you in advance.

GROUP and COMMENT are invalid names for Oracle objects, unless you used double quotes when creating them and every time you want to reference them. Bad idea.

hello,
it seems to me you do not want to insert new rows to the table, just update one column based on values of another column. Something like
update "group" set "comment" = 'good' where code_comm = 6;
If not, where will you get the code_comm value from?
It was not a good idea to name your table and column with Oracle keyword. Have to put it into doublequotes when accessing it.
