  Hi All,

  I am using sql server 2005.

  I had one table with so many columns.

  and i had one times tamp data type column also.

  Now, i want to insert a record with :

  INSERT INTO PARTY SELECT * FROM PARTY WHERE P_CODE = 'ABC'

  i am getting error as :

  Msg 273, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

  Cannot insert an explicit value into a timestamp column. Use INSERT with a column list to exclude the timestamp column, or insert a DEFAULT into the timestamp column.

  what to do.

  i cont give all the column names separately, i want to insert as bunch with select query.

  i don't know what to do please :blink:

  thanks

  You can't insert explicit values into a timestamp column.

  Timestamp values are unique binary numbers that are automatically generated.

  You will need to explicitly state the columns you are inserting data into:

  _________________

  insert into <table> (<col 1>, <col 2>...) values (x, y....)

  _________________

  or give the timestamp col a default value.

  Thanks,

  Chandru
