After reading through the MySQL manuals, as suggested here, I attempted
to construct the following statement to copy data from the table
"members" to the table "forum_members":
INSERT INTO forum_members( MD5(passwd) , dateRegistered, realName,
ID_MEMBER, memberName, emailAddress, active, keitai, number, admin,
cardpic, cardbio, hofpic, hofbio, nickname, contactMe, showMe,
websiteUrl ) VALUES ('temp', UNIX_TIMESTAMP( joindate ) , CONCAT_WS( '
', firstname, lastname ) , id, username, email, active, keitai, number,
admin, cardpic, cardbio, hofpic, hofbio, nickname, contactMe, showMe,
website)FROM members
However, I got the following error:
#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that
corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use
near 'MD5( passwd ) , dateRegistered, realName, ID_MEMBER, memberName,
It seems that MySQL does not like me putting in syntax to modify the
fields within my INSERT command. Specifically, it objected to having
MD5(), UNIX_TIMESTAMP(), and CONCAT_WS(). At least this is what is
indicated to me within the phpMyAdmin interface, which highlights the
erroneous sections of the statement in red.
Am I using the wrong statement? How do I take a value from one field,
such as the date, and make it into a different format for inserting into
another field if the INSERT command won't accept those modifications?
