QUESTION POSED ON: 24 February 2009
Can I insert data from a CTE into a file? I have this query:
with recursive appidrange ( start, end) as (select 4500000, max(apptid) from coprddb3/corcvaptp), allIds (apptidlist, endid) as ( select start as apptidlist, end as endid from appidrange union all select existing_row.apptidlist + 1 existing_row.endid from allIds existing_row where existing_row.apptidlist +1 <= existing_row.endid), missingIds as ( select apptidlist from allids except select apptid from coprddb3/corcvaptp as temp) insert into jgriffin/apptids select * from missingIds;
As a result of this query, I get an SQL code of: -199 Insert not expected. How can I do this?

Since the SQL statement is an INSERT statement, you need to have the common table expression definitions declared with the nested SELECT statement. Here's a simple example:

INSERT INTO out_table 
  WITH my_cte (m1,m2) AS (SELECT absval(col1), absval(col2) FROM my_table ) 
  SELECT m1, m2 FROM my_cte;
