I am working on a MySQL application where laptops will be collecting data into local MySQL tables, and then once a week they will be network-connected to a central server where they will "check in" their new data and "check out" new assignments for data collection.

given a set of rows in a set of tables on the laptop, is there any nifty way of grabbing their data and inserting/updating these rows into the server database, other than to do a SELECT on the local connection and then turn around and create an INSERT or UPDATE SQL command on the remote connection with the same data to push data onto server? same for remote-to-laptop.

due to the nature of the application, laptops will be working on only a fraction of the total records on the server, so i can not simply copy the tables on server onto laptop, nor can i copy tables from laptop onto server, since other laptops will be checking in data too into the same tables.

thanks
