Hello Ashish,

Insert always creates a new row in the table.
You are training to insert one column value into a table without specifying the column into which you want to insert.

You have to execute as follows
INSERT INTO RAJ(BAL_DUE)
SELECT BAL_DUE FROM CLIENT_MASTER
but, it creates new rows


Actually your requirement is you have to update your bal_due column

So, try hte following statement.

update raj r set BAL_DUE = (select BAL_DUE from CLIENT_MASTER where CLIENT = r.CLIENT)

with rgds,
Ramesh

And when you tried the previous posters suggestion of
update raj r set BAL_DUE = (select BAL_DUE from CLIENT_MASTER where CLIENT = r.CLIENT) 
, did it do what you wanted? If not, what errors did you encounter?

i know i can do it by update clause.
i have to update each & every row one by one, which is the last option.since i want true copy(bal_due) of it on table raj from table(client_master)without updating.is there any procedure
