Upcoming new release (8.4+1) maybe contains writeable CTE, another way to do this. (insert into multiple tables) And yes, as said, you can use a transaction (begin; insert ...; insert ...; commit;) Regards, Andreas -- Andreas Kretschmer Kontakt: Heynitz: 035242/47150, D1: 0160/7141639 (mehr: -> Header) GnuPG: 0x31720C99, 1006 CCB4 A326 1D42 6431 2EB0 389D 1DC2 3172 0C99 -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
