I have been assigned the fun little job of porting a (very badly designed) database from Access97 to MySQL so that we'd finally get rid of that pesky Win2000-server.
The database contains a list of magazines currently in our basement waiting for someone to borrow them. There are, at the moment, just over 4500 records in the database, but when someone starts inserting magazines, it'll be a tad over 100 000 records. Now, the problem is that I'd somehow like to get all the magazine names into another table, and references to that table in the first table without having to change all the records by hand. I have gotten the names of the magazines into a table with an auto_incremented primary id field, but how could I get all the same names away from both tables and only leave unique names? -- Markus Lervik Linux administrator with a kungfoo grip Vasa City Library - Regional Library --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
