Hi, in the statement below I am trying to insert multiple rows into
the HAND table. CARDID is the primary key of HAND
INSERT INTO HAND
(CARDID,
SUITID,
RANKID)
SELECT (SELECT MAX(H.CARDID) FROM HAND H) + 1,
DECK.SUITID,
DECK.CARDID,
FROM DECK
WHERE ....;
The problem is when I run this statement, it repeats the CARDID. It
never increments. For example if the max CARDID in HAND was 217. It
will insert 10 rows (or however many the WHERE statement allows) all
with the CARDID 218. I don't have any nextval, max_sequence_num, or
IDENTITY columns in this table. Is there a way to increase the CARDID
with each entry that is added in and keep it simple?
If there is no solution, would there be a way if I created a temporary
table?
This is on Oracle 9i.
