Copying a row
Hi everyone, Is there any easy way to duplicate a row in a table with auto increment column, that shouldn't of course be copied. I tried a query NSERT INTO table SELECT * FROM table but it caused an error due to the auto increment column. I succeeded with listing all required fields in the query, but it's not very efficient way to do it (in my opinion) as when I modify the table (add or remove columns), I should modify also all queries. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Ville -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

You will need to do something like this: CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE temp SELECT field_1, field_2, field_3 FROM table WHERE field_1 100; INSERT table (field_1, field_2, field_3) SELECT (field_1, field_2, field_3) FROM temp; DROP TABLE temp; Cheers! -- Zak Greant [EMAIL PROTECTED] | MySQL Advocate | http://zak.fooassociates.com Using and Managing MySQL MySQL Training: Hamburg, March 24-28, 2003 Visit http://mysql.com/training for more information Gosh, Batman.
