I have three tables, A, B, and C. C is a detail of B and B is a detail of A.
table A
A_ID
NAME
table B
B_ID
A_ID
FOO
table C
C_ID
B_ID
BAR
I would like to copy a record in A and all it's details. I can copy A and
the details from B using
insert into A( A_ID, NAME )
select A_SEQ.NEXTVAL, NAME
from A where A_ID=OldA_ID
select A_SEQ.CURRVAL into NewA_ID from dual;
insert into B ( B_ID, A_ID, FOO )
select B_SEQ.NEXTVAL, NewA_ID, FOO
from B where A_ID=OldA_ID
How do I copy B's details from C? Can I do this without a cursor and a loop?
