Dirk, Prahlad,

since you are trying to insert a different DataType into your Table I strongly recommend to cast your values.

I also would recommend to use the Columnnames on the Insert section of your Insert / Select (even if the structure and the namings are the same; I saw some strange behaving here).

I would do the following:

Insert the Integer Values as described into your first Table.

Then insert the Integer values into the Varchar Table like

     INS a INTO user_work.x
     SEL cast(a as VARCHAR(20)) FROM user_work.i;

or

     INS a INTO user_work.x
     SEL a (VARCHAR(10)) FROM user_work.i;

This should work (haven't tried it though).

I am not sure why you have a different length on the Character but I assume it's also related to the missing casting. I always would recommend that.

Thanks

Joerg
