Let's say I had a table...
CREATE TABLE book (
author oid,
name text );
and...
CREATE TABLE author (
name text );
and I wanted to create a book pointing to author with name 'Tolstoy'. I
want to do something like...
INSERT INTO book(name,author) values('War and Peace',
(SELECT oid FROM author WHERE name = 'Tolstoy'));
but this doesn't work. What is the correct syntax?
