Based on Shawn's tips, I revised the query to read thusly: SELECT * FROM wow.resume r INNER JOIN wow.candidate c ON c.Candidate_ID = r.Candidate_ID WHERE r.Section_ID = '1' AND MATCH (r.Section_Value) AGAINST ('+peoplesoft' IN BOOLEAN MODE);
INSERT INTO wow.resume_erp (Candidate_ID, Section_ID, Section_Value) SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS c.candidate_id, r.Section_ID, r.Section_Value FROM wow.resume r INNER JOIN wow.candidate c ON r.Candidate_ID = c.Candidate_ID; INSERT INTO wow.candidate_erp (Candidate_ID, Vendor_ID, Last_Name, First_Name, Middle_Initial, Condition_Type, Employer, Country_ID, Visa_Status, Dt_Visa, MMDD_Birth, SSN, CSG_Comments, Working, Available, Start_Date, Location, HoldOnPeriod, Relocation, Tech_Ranking, Comm_Ranking, Availability, Cert_Comments, Dt_Submitted, Def_Rate, Def_Rate_Unit, Other_Country, Currency_id, Interview_Availability, Interview_Contact, US_Experience, Location_Country) SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS c.candidate_id, c.Vendor_ID, c.Last_Name, c.First_Name, c.Middle_Initial, c.Condition_Type, c.Employer, c.Country_ID, c.Visa_Status, c.Dt_Visa, c.MMDD_Birth, c.SSN, c.CSG_Comments, c.Working, c.Available, c.Start_Date, c.Location, c.HoldOnPeriod, c.Relocation, c.Tech_Ranking, c.Comm_Ranking, c.Availability, c.Cert_Comments, c.Dt_Submitted, c.Def_Rate_Unit, c.Other_Country, c.Currency_id, c.Interview_Availability, c.Interview_Contact, c.US_Experience, c.Location_Country FROM wow.resume r INNER JOIN wow.candidate c ON r.Candidate_ID = c.Candidate_ID; I changed the boolean search to what I was matching against (this time 'peoplesoft') with a resulting 256 rows. I ran the first two queries, which resulted in part 1 returning 256 rows, part 2 affecting 1000 rows, and nothing entering into the database candidate_erp. The third resulted in ERROR 1136: Column count doesn't match value count at row 1. >Yes, you were close. May I suggest a little reading? I'll give those links a look, though often the reading in there seems a bit thick! - Eve -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
