Re: [SQL] Copying rows between tables?

[Sai Hertz And Control Systems]

Dear Steve Wampler

I have an application where old records are archived into
'archive' tables.  Occasionally there is a need to copy
some of these old records into the 'active' table.
 

source_table(id: bigserial,uname: char,x1: char,x2: char,x3: char,x4: char)
dest_table(id: bigserial,uname: char,x11: char,x21: char,x31: char,x41: 
char)

you will do some thing like
insert into dest_table(id,uname,x11,x21) (select id,uname,x1,x2 from 
source_table)

Shootback if this helps
