I looked at COPY and PASTE but if I understand correctly, that only works one row at a time. My application really needs to work in batches. I do understand the ADD5 transaction isn't what I need, but I was just experimenting to see how things worked.

My application is to manage exams. So I have an exam session table linked to an exam table (effectively a header/detail construct). There are other foreign keys in the exam table e.g. candidate id, and exam_type_id etc. I wanted to build a transaction that allows me to select all the candidates that took a particular exam type on a previous session, and insert them back into the exam table for a new session with updated exam type details - effectively creating a new exam session based on candidates from a previous session.

I can do this with COPY / PASTE but would have to do one candidate at a time.

Do you have any suggestions?
