I have a table called map_tags:
map_id | map_license | map_desc
And another table (widgets) whose records contains a foreign key reference (1 to 1) to a map_tags record:
widget_id | map_id | widget_name
Given the constraint that all map_licenses are unique (however are not set up as keys on map_tags), then if I have a map_license and a widget_name, I'd like to perform an insert on widgets all inside of the same SQL statement:
INSERT INTO
widgets w
(
map_id,
widget_name
)
VALUES (
(
SELECT
mt.map_id
FROM
map_tags mt
WHERE
// This should work and return a single record because map_license is unique
mt.map_license = '12345'
),
'Bupo'
)
I believe I'm on the right track but know right off the bat that this is incorrect SQL for Postgres. Does anybody know the proper way to achieve such a single query?
