Re: multi-table insert in Oracle 9i

You're missing a "THEN" keyword:

insert all when 1=1 THEN
into junk (id, order_num, sequence_num) ...

Also, if the condition is 1=1, you don't need to specify it at all:

insert all
into junk (id, order_num, sequence_num) ...

does the same thing.

Cheers,
Dave
