Well, it works for my sample case, I have to agree. Maybe I should
mention that I tried to boil down the bugreport to the simplest repro
case I could.
My actual SQL looks roughly like
INSERT INTO destination (record_id, page, row)
SELECT
(SELECT record_id FROM record ORDERED BY name),
(NEXTVAL('seq') / 200),
(CURRVAL('seq') % 200)
While I have a workaround, I am definitely curious as to whether there
is actually a way to do it. Thanks for your patience.
regards,
martin
