To All,
How do I select from one table into another table
that already exists?
In other words, if I do a:
select * into tblB from tblA where attrN like 'xxx';
and both table structures are identical I get a
ERROR: Relation 'tblB' already exists
If I : select * into table tblB from tblA where attrN like 'xxx';
I get the same answer.
I also tried using 'update'
So, How do I update a smaller table from a larger table?
For those who wish to know, This is a large parts database that
is updated monthly and I have divided it into smaller subsections for
quick access through a web-based interface. Searching the original
table is much too time consuming ( over 130,000 part #'s with Specs and
Descriptions - all running on an ancient 80386). And I would like
to avoid updating the smaller tables by re-building them from scratch.
Thanks for your time,
John C.
