Hello Jerry,

The insert statement is included in the test case.  Here it is again.

insert into test1
  select id,data from test2
  except select id,data from test1;

The goal of the except was to only insert items from test2 that don't already 
exist in test1.  

Thanks for the hint on debug_print_rewritten.  I'll look into that.

-Chris
