RE: Multi-row insert in SQL

Vern,

You can do it if the SQL is embedded in a program.  I know you code mostly C
but in RPG you would use a multiple occurrence data structure.

Subject: Multi-row insert in SQL

Anyone know if or when iSeries SQL will have a multi-row INSERT?

INSERT INTO tab_comp VALUES     (item1, price1, qty1),
                                 (item2, price2, qty2),
                                 (item3, price3, qty3)

instead of

INSERT INTO tab_comp VALUES (item1, price1, qty1)
INSERT INTO tab_comp VALUES (item2, price2, qty2)
INSERT INTO tab_comp VALUES (item3, price3, qty3)

It's in other flavors of DB2, as well as the SQL-92 standard.
