Hello Paul, Why don't you just use mysqldump to dump the data to a textfile, and then insert the data from the textfile into your new table? --- Alain Fontaine Consultant Developer VAlain S.A.

Re: dumping between tables?
I want to dump the contents of one table in to another table which has the same structure in MySQL, with just one column type changed from VARCHAR to TEXT. Whats the best way to do this? Would INSERT...SELECT suit you? =dn Yes, but it's a big table. Is there a way to do this nicely? ie, something like SELECT * from table1 | INSERT - INTO table2 ?? I was considerign using mysqldump, but I only want to reload one table in a database, and I'm not sure the mysqldump syntax for specific tables.

If you are not happy/familiar with native SQL or the MySQL tools, then I recommend an SQL admin/mgmt package like MySQL-Front (www.mysql-front.de IIRC) which will allow you to do/see things in 'prototype' mode, ie 'I want to see it as it happens...'. It also features an export facility (tbl defns and/or tbl contents - into 'dump format') which I use ALL the time.

Re: dumping between tables?
Not only will mysqldump allow you to work on a specific table, but it will also allow you to dump directly from one table into another. Sounds like exactly what your looking for. You'll need to use the correct syntax to keep it from adding CREATE TABLE statements, but it's all clear on this page. http://www.mysql.com/doc/m/y/mysqldump.html Cary query I was considerign using mysqldump, but I only want to reload one table in a database, and I'm not sure the mysqldump syntax for specific tables.
