Append one table to another?
How do I append one table's contents to another? Both have identical structure. Problem is I don't have shell access, only phpAdmin or a PHP file I write upload myself. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Brian How do I append one table's contents to another? Both have identical structure. Problem is I don't have shell access, only phpAdmin or a PHP file I write upload myself. How about INSERT into tbl1 SELECT * FROM tbl2 PB -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

Hi Brian! How do I append one table's contents to another? Both have identical structure. Problem is I don't have shell access, only phpAdmin or a PHP file I write upload myself. You can do it this way: INSERT INTO table1 SELECT * FROM table2; If you need to have more control over what is copied, you can add a WHERE clause in the SELECT above. Also, you can restrict how it is done by adding some fields restrictions: INSERT INTO table1 (field1, field2) SELECT field1, field FROM table2 WHERE field1 = Some value Cheers, Jose Miguel. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Append one table to another?
INSERT into tbl1 SELECT * FROM tbl2 Thanks to both of you, but this is not working. Since one of the fields is a primary key that's duplicated in both tables (both tables have records numbered 1, 2, 3...), it won't allow the duplicate entries. Fortunately I do not need those primary key values to be preserved - it's OK to insert the new records with auto-increment values where the target table left off. So I tried: insert into target_table select `field1`,`field2` from original_table; and I listed all but the auto-increment field. This doesn't work either, it just says to check my syntax, but I can't see a problem. Any ideas? -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
