Hi Everybody,
I want to execute a query below:
select *
into my_table
from old_table
where (some_condition);
The trouble is that the manual page states that this would
"SELECT INTO creates a new table and fills it with data
computed by a query."
What I want is to append my_table. Is there any way to
get postgres to do what I want done?
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Tena Sakai

PostgreSQL supports the SQL standard syntax for this:
insert into my_table
select *
from old_table
where (some_condition);
