Subject Problems inserting a new record on not matched condition
Author
Good day.

I am trying to insert a record into a file when I get an unmatched condition on the merge but I get an error saying it can't find the column for the insert.

Here is the code:

merge into tableA e
  using tableB s
  on (e.field1 = s.field2)
  when not matched then insert (ACTION,ITEMID,TITLE,SITEID,CURRENCY,STARTPRICE,BUYITNOWPRICE,QUANTITY,RELATIONSHIP,RELATIONSHIPDETAILS,CUSTOMLABEL,MATCHED,VENDOR)
  values ('End',e.ITEMID, e.TITLE,e.SITEID,e.CURRENCY,e.STARTPRICE,e.BUYITNOWPRICE,e.QUANTITY,e.RELATIONSHIP,e.RELATIONSHIPDETAILS,e.CUSTOMLABEL,'N','Sullivans');

What I am trying to accomplish is if there isn't a match I need to insert a record into tableA because tableA will be an input table into a subsequent process and the data I need is only on tableA.

Using Firebird 2.5

Any help/direction/ would be greatly appreciated!!

Thank you.
