 Adding resources to Global Resource Pool

Does anybody know how to add Resources to the Global Resource pool directly
through SQL?

We have successfully inserted Resources into the MSP_RESOURCES table with an
SQL INSERT statement for a specific project (eg. PROJ_ID = 9) without any
difficulty, so when you later open MS Project, the new Resource appears in
the project. However we want to add additional resources to the Global
Resource pool so that the Resources can be available for the entire
Enterprise. To do this, you need to specify a PROJ_ID = 1 which is the
res_global project.  When we add a record to MSP_RESOURCES with PROJ_ID = 1
and EXT_EDIT_REF_DATA = 1 (to show that the record has been inserted
externally), etc., it will not show up under the Enterprise resource list in
MS Project.  We've tried setting PROJ_EXT_EDITED = 1 for the res_global
project (PROJ_ID = 1), but it doesn't seem to pick up the changes to the
resources.  We're not really sure what to try next. Any help would be
appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Try to set the RES_EUID field. This inicates the resources unique ID for the
enterproise.

Tried that, doesn't seem to make any difference.  The EXT_EDIT_REF_DATA
always seems to stay as 1, unlike when you open a normal project and your
changes are imported, then it is set back to NULL.
