#1062 - Duplicate entry '1' for key 1
Yeah, that's what I was saying about in my previous mail. It looks like
you've got a primary key on one of your columns, and you're attempting
to insert data into it with a duplicate primary key (ie what the error
message says). The easiest way to get around this one would be to write
a query that pulls all of the columns apart from the primary key, and
then replace that field with '' or somesuch.
For instance, let's say you've got a schema of the following:
table1(primarykey,column2,column3,column4,column5)
primarykey is obviously a primary key. You'd do something along the
lines of select '',column2,column3,column4,column5 from table1;
Then export that resultset to an SQL file.
Anyone else aware of an easier way to do this? I've got into some bad
habits over the years, but I'm not aware of another way to do what
Patrice is trying to do.
Cheers,
Gary
