Eh, sorry I didn't catch that you are pulling in from a completely different database. I think you can still directly in MySQL, like
INSERT INTO tablename (x,y,z) SELECT x,y,z FROM databasename.othertable *if* both databases are on the same MySQL server. But I'm not sure how it works with a ColdFusion datasource, I think the user you are connect the DSN as would need permission to both databases and it should work. -Ryan Ryan Stille wrote: > This is how you'd do it with MySQL: > > INSERT INTO tablename (x,y,z) SELECT x,y,z FROM othertable > > If you are using MSSQL, I'm sure its something similar. > > -Ryan > > Eric Roberts wrote: > >> >> >> I have been trying to come up with a more streamlined way to update the >> contents of a table with data that is coming from a different database.
