Can you run into problems when copying tables with
foreign keys? I want to copy my Nations and States
tables, making versions designed only to hold lengthy
articles. I copied and coverted the States table
successfully, but I'm running into problems with the
Nations table.

I get an error message referring to foreign key
constraints. When I try it again, phpMyAdmin tells me
the table has already been created. When I refresh the
page, there it is!

But there's no data in it - even though I directed it
to copy the structure AND data.

Is there a way to copy just a certain number of
fields? All I really need (I think) are the columns
with the nation's names (so I know which row is
which), the column with abbreviations (for joining)
and a third (and new) column for pasting articles.

Thanks.
