I see a lot of other problems: you have 3 independet tables. Your 2 queries (selects) returns 2 independet results, you can't use that for insert into the 3rd table. And i think, you are looking for an update, not insert. So you have to define how your tables are linked together (join). Can you explain how these tables are linked together? -- Andreas Kretschmer http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
