    Unhappy how to do select.. into (or maybe insert...into)?

    I have 2 tables --

    table1(my_rowid integer, col2 anything)
    table2(my_rowid integer)

    I'd like to copy part of my_rowID from table1 to table2, how can I do that? Do I have to use a cursor for loop? Or I can use select...into or insert...into? I tried a few ways but got no luck

    Thank you and have a nice weekend!

    perhaps you should write in pseudo-code what you want

    INSERT INTO table2(my_rowid)
    SELECT my_rowid/69
    FROM table1;

    Hi Elaine

    How about using the inbuild substr function ? and doing somethin like this

    insert into table2
    select substr(col1,1,2),col2 from tabl1
