Here are two basic example of how you do it using MySQL
insert with a select statement for the values. http://mysql-tips.blogspot.com/2005/04/mysql-insert-select-example.html and the variation where you can trick mysql into doing an update. http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?61,65650,262461#msg-262461 What you would want to do is create a new empty table with the desired fields from both tables. Then do a select joining the two tables and inserting the results into the new table. Using the second method you should be abel to update to oneof the involved tables... but I wouldn't do that myself. good luck.
