Simple Question About INSERT INTO Using Select Query - Oracle

Asked by F-J-K in Oracle 11.x Database, Oracle 10.x, Oracle CRM

INSERT INTO CustomerFamilyHistory (customerfamilyhistory_id_seq.nextval, firstname, lastname, age, ?????, sibling, customerid)
SELECT customerfamilymemberfirstname, customerfamilymemberlastname,
customerfamilymemberage, customerfamilymembersibling, cusfamilymembcustomerID
FROM CustomerFamilyMember;

Insert values into the history record from CustomerFamilyMember. However, CustomerFamilyHistory have a primary key customerfamilyhistoryid which uses sequence. Is the above INSERT INTO structured correctly? What about leavingDate, how can i handle the situation of inserting every CustomerFamilyMember column to the right place in History table?

P.S. discard the naming convention...

Get your answer NOW

         
           
           
             Assume i have the following empty table:
 
CREATE TABLE CustomerFamilyHistory
(
	customerfamilyhistoryid number(10) CONSTRAINT customerfamilyhistoryid_pk PRIMARY KEY,
	firstname varchar2(50) NOT NULL,
	lastname varchar2(50) NOT NULL,
	age number(3) NOT NULL,
        leavingDate date DEFAULT SYSDATE NOT NULL,
	sibling varchar2(20) NOT NULL,
	customerid number(7) NOT NULL,
);
