Assuming everything is properly indexed. (1) INSERT INTO my_table_1 (field1, field2) SELECT DISTINCT field1, field2 FROM my_table_2;
or (2) INSERT IGNORE INTO my_table_1 (field1, field2) SELECT field1, field2 FROM my_table_2; Is there anything to say about this in a general sense, or does it all depend on the data in question?
