SELECT returnig a constant

[stan]

I used to be able to return a constant value in a SELECT statement in
ORACLE. I need to populate a table for testing, and I was going to do so
like this:

SELECT
        employee.id ,
                project.proj_no ,
                work_type.type  ,
                'rate' 1
FROM employee
CROSS JOIN project
CROSS JOIN work_type;

This statement works correctly, till I add the last "'rate' 1 line, then it
returns a syntax error.

How can I do this?
