Hi,

I am writing a one-time proc to copy all records from one table to another table with a commit level of 1 record. I wrote a proc to do this using a cursor and for loop but was wondering if there was an alternative syntax for the insert using the current cursor?

Ie. Insert into table_A (select current record)

Instead of having to use the VALUES syntax (the table has ALOT of columns)

Pretty much my purpose is to get the the table to re-fire an insert trigger (trigger needed to be disables during the intial load).... so now I am making a backup table and copying the records in one by one , commiting each to get the trigger to complete for each row (the trigge fills other tables etc).

Any suggestions (and yes, I am in the manuals, but they only showing thus far the VALUES syntax).....

Thanks,

Hannah
