Hi,

Does anyone knows how to do the following kind of insert?

in the table:

column1 string not null  
column2 string not null  
column3 string not null

I have to save data only into column2. Is this possible? How can I  
acheive this?

Thanks

Hi,  
To ensure that my previous question is clear enough…How do I insert  
data into one column of the above example’s table?

Thanks
