do something like -
1. make a third table indentical to table svt_members. lets call it
svt_members_temp.
2. load the svt_members_temp table with the merged values.
"Insert into svt_members_temp(key_svt_members, phone, etc,etc,etc)
Select phone.key_svt_members, phone.phone, svt_members.etc, svt_members.etc,
svt_members.etc
>From svt_members, phone
Where svt_members.key_svt_members = phone.key_svt_members"
3. cross your fingers (or backup)
4. empty the contents of the original table.
"delete from svt_members"
5. load the data back into the real table.
"Insert into svt_members(key_svt_members, phone, etc,etc,etc)
Select svt_members_temp(key_svt_members, phone, etc,etc,etc)"

Subject: [PHP-DB] Copy data from one mysql table to another?
Dear PHP Helpers,
I cannot find any documentation on how to copy the
data from one mysql table to another, i.e. table1,
columnx to table2, columnx.
Can you recommend a way?
Here is the situation.
I have one table called "phone" with two columns. The
first column is called "key_svt_members," the second
is called "phone."
I have a second table called "svt_members." This table
has 17 columns including "key_svt_members" and
"phone." The phone column in this table is currently
empty.
I wish to copy the data that is in phone, phone into
svt_members.
Can you recommend a method?
Thanks in advance,
Bob Stone
