Re: INSERT Syntax

Actually, that won't work in SQL Server either.  The correct syntax (for
both databases) is:

INSERT INTO table1 ( field1, field2 )
SELECT field1, field2 FROM table2;

The "VALUES" syntax is only appropriate if you are inserting a set of
constants with no SELECT statement involved.
