Populating one table with data from another
Ok, this has got to be easy, but I'm not getting it right... I have a table, products containing a 944 rows. One of the fields is fgNumber, I have another table, categoryRelatedToProducts which also has an fgNumber field and currently has no data. I'd like to add all 944 fgNumbers to the categoryRelatedToProducts table. Can I do this with one sql statement?
