Hi, everybody.


I would like to do an insert:



SQL>insert into emp(comm)


    values ( nvl(select comm from emp where empno=8888), 99)
    where empno=7902;



Unfortunately, this statement doesn't work. I know this can be done in
pl/sql, but i really want to know whether this can be done in SQL?
Please help.



Regards


celia
