insert maximum selected value as new record oracle
oracle, oracle10g, sql
Solution
INSERT INTO table1( id, name )
SELECT max(id) + 1, 'name2'
FROM table1
will be valid syntax. This method of generating `id` values, is a very poor approach. It does not work in a multi-user environment since many different sessions may get the same `id` value. It is also much less efficient than using a sequence.
Problem
i'm using oracle DB . and i'm trying to select max number from table and then increment it by one then re-insert it as new record for example: `insert into table1(id,name) values (select max(id) from table1 + 1,'name2');` but it gave me missing expression error. thanks in advance.
