I need to create some nearly identical copies of rows in a complicated
table.
Is there a handy syntax that would let me copy a existing row, but get a
new primary key for the copy? I'd then go in an edit the 1 or 2
additional columns that differ. The duplicate would be in the same
table as the original.
This would save me a bunch of typing. Can it be done?
