I am using a insert statement like:
INSERT INTO newtable
SELECT field1, field2 FROM anothertable
newtable structure is: serial, varchar, varchar
What syntax do I use to insert the serial field? Ive tried something
like:
INSERT INTO newtable
SELECT nextval('newtable_id_seq'), field1, field2 FROM anothertable
but that doesnt work
Any ideas? Greatly appreciated!
