INSERT using SELECT results

Hi,

I have a table LOCAIS with:

id type desc
1 t1 blah blah
2 t1 uihuih
3 t2 pokpokp


I want to list only the distinct types and create a table with those results.
I know how to list the distinct and i thought i got the insert
right, but it doesnt work:

INSERT INTO ztipos('type') SELECT DISTINCT type FROM locais

Whats wrong with that command?
I want the result to be:
results table ZTIPOS:

id type
1 t1
2 t2


Thanks

Miguel
