#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
If I export both db tables into csv, combine and then import back, that
should do it, methinks...
just create a new table called tips2, merge the 2 into one...
