How to initialize field with constant value using Query::insert_recordset

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by Kai Cheng
Hi experts,
 
I have a table A that has a field named sessionId.
For some reasons, I have to use Query to insert multiple records into table A.
Some field of table A are mapped with field from other tables.
But for sessionId, I need to set a constant value for it.
 
So is there a way to initialize field sessionId with a constant value using Query::insert_recordset()?
Or I can only insert other fields firstly, and then use update_recordset to set the field sessionId?
 
Thanks.

    Your (verified) answer claims that it's impossible and the records must be updated later, while my reply does offer a solution for Query::insert_recordset().

    Now the only way I found is that:
    Insert recordset firstly, then update_recordset for the records just insert with the constant values.

    I suspect you can't use a literal value instead of a field mapping. At least Microsoft thought so when creating RetailTmpCDXNodeConstTable table. It's a TempDB table that they populate with constant values they want in Query::insert_recordset(), add it to the query and use normal field mapping to take values from RetailTmpCDXNodeConstTable insert to the target table. Maybe you can use the same approach.
