You need a constraint on the data to be inserted into the second table. Care to share what that is supposed to be?

I have a table, in the table is a field called name_id; in a second table (a linking table) I also have the field name_id, this should be the same/reference the same name_id as in the first table. The first table is fully populated. How do write a SQL statement to get the data from the name_id field of table1 into the name_id field of table2? (I'll do this and find out after if it actually references the same data! So, if it doesn't at least I'll have learned the proper SQL statement. :) Thank you, Ted Rogers -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
