> INSERT INTO dm.billables_links (billable_id) VALUES ((SELECT billable_id > FROM junk.wm_260_billables2 WHERE info ilike '%Alisha%')), > INSERT INTO dm.billables_links (mobiuser_id) VALUES ((SELECT id FROM > public.ja_mobiusers WHERE name_first LIKE 'Alisha%' AND name_last LIKE > 'Dson%')) The problem is that I need to do that at the same time, because of a constraint: ALTER TABLE dm.billables_links ADD CONSTRAINT cc_one_and_only_one_target CHECK ((("customer_id" IS NOT NULL)::integer + ("role_id" IS NOT NULL)::integer + ("mobiuser_id" IS NOT NULL)::integer) = 1); I'm having trouble by creating that SQL... can anyone help please? FYI - It has to be in the same transaction because the mobiuser_id must go to the selected billable_id on the first select.
