INSERT INTO PS_CUST_REGN_TYPE (SETID,CUST_ID,REGION_CD_TYPE,REGION_CD,LAST_MAINT_OPRID,DATE_LAST_MAINT)
VALUES('CORP1','0000080005','TRPT','ARKANSAS','TWDAVIS','12/23/2008' )
where cust_id in(select cust_id from customers)
Thank You

Do you want to insert that row for every customer in the customers table with a match already in PS_CUST_REGN_TYPE? If this is what you want I think this code will work:

[font="Courier New"]INSERT INTO PS_CUST_REGN_TYPE

(

SETID,

CUST_ID,

REGION_CD_TYPE,

REGION_CD,

LAST_MAINT_OPRID,

DATE_LAST_MAINT

)

SELECT

'CORP1',

'0000080005',

'TRPT',

'ARKANSAS',

'TWDAVIS',

'12/23/2008'

FROM

customers C JOIN

PS_CUST_REGN_TYPE P ON

C.cust_id = P.cust_id[/font]

I have about 4000 rows of values to insert that are in a word doc that I will cut and paste into my sql statement but I do not want to insert into the PS_CUST_REGN_TYPE tables unless the customer is already in the customer table. so I don't create any orphans

The first thing you are going to want to do is get that data into a usable format. That would be - put the data into a table in SQL Server. Once the data is in a table - it is very easy to build the insert statement to select from the table - with a join to customers as outlined by Jack.

One possibility is to create the table using SSMS - open the table, and then cut & paste from the Word doc into the table. I have done this using Excel data before - but not Word. It might work - might not.

another trick is that if you can get the data into excel, then you can add a additional calculated column for generating an insert statement

for example

= "insert into xxxx (col1, col2) select " & A1 & "," & B2

you can then just cut and paste the generated sql into ssms.
