for a in select * from temp_rslt
loop
   insert into final_rslt select row(a.*);
end loop;

I want to do something like the above. I don't want to have to name each
'a.' variable.
Is it possible?

TIA
Mike

by the way, the row structure of temp_rslt and final_rslt are identical.

No need for a loop:

   insert into final_rsl
   select *
   from tmp_rslt;

This assumes that both table define the columns in the exact same order

Thanks David.
Thomas, Yes, in my example the loop is not necessary, but in my real
application it is. :-) Thanks.
