I know I can select from one table into a new table, but is
there a way to select from one table into an existing table
(aside from copying everything to a file, editing the file
and then copying from that file)? Without destroying existing
entries, of course...

I have an application where old records are archived into
'archive' tables. Occasionally there is a need to copy
some of these old records into the 'active' table.

Thanks for any pointers!
Steve
