How to do an insert with a select statement, with unique values

Stanley Lee-OracleNov 11 2010 — edited Nov 12 2010
Hi,

I have an insert statement like this

INSERT INTO TABLEA (ID, zzz
SELECT sequence.nextval, zzz FROM TABLEB

The problem is TABLEA won't allow any duplicates and TABLEB will return duplicates. Yet I can't use the distinct keyword since I am using a sequence.

Thanks.
