    One more issue with this specific query, which gave me headache is:

    - db1 has record like this:

    record_id, column1, column2, column3, column4.

    - db2 has record like this:

    record_id, column_id (based on column value - db2 has table with column_id, column value), and value column.

    So, I am inserting next:

    From db1: record_id, column1 in new db2 record (or update existing) with values record_id, column_id, value.

    Example (for new record):

    INSERT (from db1) (record_id, column1) with values (1, Drawings)

    INTO

    db2 (record_id, column_ID) = 1, 123 (where 123 is column_id for Drawings).

    After first, INSERT is taking second value from db1 and inserting it ...

    Thanks,

    Brano

    You are going to have to paint a far clearer picture here if you want detailed assistance. You will need to post a few things:

    1. Sample DDL in the form of CREATE TABLE statements

    2. Sample data in the form of INSERT INTO statements

    3. Expected results based on the sample data
