SELECT returnig a constant

[stan <stanb@xxxxxxxxx>]

I used to be able to return a constant value in a SELECT statement in
ORACLE. I need to populate a table for testing, and I was going to do so
like this:

SELECT
        employee.id ,
		project.proj_no ,
		work_type.type  ,
		'rate' 1
FROM employee
CROSS JOIN project
CROSS JOIN work_type;

This statement works correctly, till I add the last "'rate' 1 line, then it
returns a syntax error.

How can I do this?
