Subject: can a insert with a returning clause be subquery ?

Message-ID: <15248628.post@talk.nabble.com> (raw)
I am trying to accomplish this:
update p2user.party set ADDR_KEY =
(insert into p2user.address ( street_no, street_name)
values ('22', 'Geek St.')
returning addr_key )
where party_key = 22 ;
But I am getting error:
ERROR: syntax error at or near "into"
LINE 1: update p2user.party set ADDR_KEY = (insert into p2user.addre...
^(is actually under the
"into")
The insert by itself works fine and returns a valid integer.
I know I could do this easily with a stored proc,
but it seems like an obvious use of the returning clause
Am I missing some syntax error
