# SQL-011: Insert IMAGE row without external sequence

This statement is an alternative INSERT for the `IMAGE` table that uses `image_seq.nextval` inline in the VALUES clause rather than relying on a separately generated sequence value. It was not referenced by any live `BeforeInsert` method in the analysed source and may be dead code**.

## Classification

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| **SQL ID** | SQL-011 |
| **Operation type** | Create |
| **Execution method** | Inline SQL |
| **Database** | Oracle |
| **Schema** | [unqualified]** |
| **Command type** | Text** |
| **Business object** | `clsImageIdx` |
| **Criteria property** | `InsertSQLNoSeq` |
| **Lifecycle method** | `BeforeInsert (not referenced)**` |

## Parameters

No parameters are bound by a live `AddParm` call associated with this statement**.

## Tables

| Table | Access | Columns used |
| --- | --- | --- |
| [IMAGE](../database-tables.md#image) | INSERT | Same columns as SQL-010; IMAGE_SEQ_NUM uses inline `image_seq.nextval` |

## Sample SQL

```sql
Insert into IMAGE (
    CLAIM_ID, CLAIM_NUM, COMMENT_TEXT,
    CREATE_DATE, CREATE_USER, DISCOVERY_FLAG,
    DISPLAY_FIELD_1, DISPLAY_FIELD_2, DISPLAY_FIELD_3, DISPLAY_SORT_NUM,
    DOCUMENT_DATE, IMAGE_CATEGORY_CODE, IMAGE_DELETE_CODE,
    IMAGE_DOCUMENT_NAME_CODE, IMAGE_DOCUMENT_TYPE_CODE, IMAGE_FILE_CODE,
    IMAGE_SEQ_NUM, POLICY_NUM, RECEIVED_DATE, SECURITY_LEVEL_NUM,
    TOWID, UPDATE_DATE,
    EXTERNAL_VIEW_CODE, EXTERNAL_VIEW_UPDATE_DATE,
    SYSTEM_GENERATED_FLAG, UPDATE_USER
) Values (
    :ClaimID, :ClaimNum, :CommentText,
    sysdate, :CreateUser, :DiscoveryFlag,
    :DisplayField1, :DisplayField2, :DisplayField3, :DisplaySortNum,
    :DocumentDate, :ImageCategoryCode, :ImageDeleteCode,
    :ImageDocumentNameCode, :ImageDocumentTypeCode, :ImageFileCode,
    image_seq.nextval, :PolicyNum, :ReceivedDate, :SecurityLevelNum,
    :Towid, sysdate,
    :ExternalViewCode, :ExternalViewUpdateDate,
    :SystemGeneratedFlag, :UpdateUser
)
```
