Ok , how about this:
INSERT INTO lr_build
SELECT v.num_build num_build,

           v.task_type task_type,
           v.task_name task_name,
           'N Started' task_status

FROM lr_task_stat v, leecvl c

WHERE c.VARIABLE_VALUE = 'P'
  AND c.NUM_BUILD = v.num_build
  AND c.TASK_TYPE = v.TASK_TYPE
  AND c.TASK_NAME = v.TASK_NAME

  AND NOT EXISTS
  (SELECT 1 from lr_build b

    WHERE b.NUM_BUILD = c.NUM_BUILD
      AND b.TASK_TYPE = c.TASK_TYPE
      AND b.TASK_NAME = c.TASK_NAME)

Subject: SQL dummy

OK,

I am the first one to admit I very rarely am called upon to write SQL, so when some does come along I have to struggle.

What I need to do is insert some information into a table and include a literal

This is what I have been trying but I just cannot get it to work. If I take the task_status bit out (the value I am trying to insert into that column is at the very bottom of the statement) then the whole thing works like a charm

Please help, my brain is farting merrily on a Friday afternoon :-)

The error I get is ORA-00913: too many values. I realise this is because I am trying to push too many values from my original select. I have redone this lots of ways but still to no avail.

I realise I have to somehow pull the table values from the tables and the literal from dual but I cannot figure out how.

INSERT INTO lr_build
(

           num_build,
           task_type,
           task_name,
           task_status

)
SELECT
(SELECT v.num_build num_build,

           v.task_type task_type,
           v.task_name task_name

FROM lr_task_stat v, leecvl c

WHERE c.VARIABLE_VALUE = 'P'
  AND c.NUM_BUILD = v.num_build
  AND c.TASK_TYPE = v.TASK_TYPE
  AND c.TASK_NAME = v.TASK_NAME

  AND NOT EXISTS
  (SELECT 1 from lr_build b

    WHERE b.NUM_BUILD = c.NUM_BUILD
      AND b.TASK_TYPE = c.TASK_TYPE
      AND b.TASK_NAME = c.TASK_NAME)),

'N Started' task_status
from dual
;
