For DML you need to think of the data as being unordered sets, not ordered lists. The whole concept of a relational database is that related rows can be associated through their common data values. You are splitting them apart and then trying to match them up again to link them back together. You will be better off if you can leave the relationship intact all the way through -- perhaps by adding name_last to table_1. -- Kevin Grittner EDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
