[Quoted] I will try to post this question since i am not sure where else to post. If this is the wrong newsgroup, then pls let me know.
Question: I'd like to copy an existing row from a table into the same table, but with the primary key's value increased by 1. How can I do that without specifying all the fields in the statement (there are many fields in this table)? I cannot do
insert into foo
select * from foo where keyfield = 100
since there is a unique key in 'foo'
i am stumped, your help is apprecreated.
