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

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Kai Cheng Microsoft Employee
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.

    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.

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

    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().
