I have two similar tables with same columns. I just want to add the data of the column of one table with the corresponding data of the column of another table. Thus, form a new table which consists of the sum of individual data of both the tables.
Would you please help me?
something like this?
INSERT INTO myTable
SELECT
s.salary + t.salary AS salary,
s.name
FROM table_name s
JOIN table_name_2 t ON t.name = s.name -- or whatever parameter you use to join the two tables on
you can do like
insert into newTable select * from table1;
insert into NewTable select * from table2;
this will insert two tables data to new Table.

I am trying to insert data from one table to another in mysql, so would like to understand the below query
insert into department_new select a.*,null from departments a;
what does select a.* means and how does it insert the values correctly into a new table,
kindly help
a is an alias for table departments
and a.* means all column so it is the same as departments.*
So the complete Statement
insert into department_new select a.*,null from departments a;
means, that all values from table departments should be stored into the table department_new plus a new column where null should be inserted.
It only works fine, if the order in both tables are equals. In this form there is the risk, that you copy the values to a wrong column.
It means select all columns from table a which is the departments table.
How it's possible to copy one entry row of a table with same data to another (same ID, same data values) Database -> same table?
Example:
Table Units:
UID Department Name Item
67 HR John Doe Table
If both tables equal no. of columns and in same order you want to insert then just use below simple query-
INSERT INTO mytable SELECT * FROM units WHERE uid=67;
If you want to insert selected column in another table's selected columns and in your order then use below-
INSERT INTO mytable(col1,col2,col3,col4) SELECT uid,department,`name`,item FROM units WHERE uid=67;
If I understand you correctly you want to copy some rows to table of another DB.
Try INSERT SELECT Query:
insert into db1.tbl(id,col1,col2)
select id,col1,col2 from db2.tbl;
Use trigger option in mysql to make new table with same data.
Suppose if you want to copy table1 data to table2 with some condition.
INSERT INTO table2 (ID, NAME) SELECT Col1, Col2 FROM table1 WHERE Col1='<Your_Condition>';
Here table2 have fields like ID and NAME and table1 have fields like Col1 and Col2.
In that case, above query copy table1 data to table2 on these fields where condition matched on table1, if you want to copy whole data of table1 then remove the WHERE condition from Select Query.
I want to write a Mysql query for the following scenario.
1.check if a table( ex: tableA) exists.
2.Check if data is there in the table.
3.If tableA exists and data is there in the table move all data to another table( ex: tableB) (tableB there in db and both tables are having same structure)
4.drop tableA
Is it possible to write a mysql query avoiding mysql stored procedure ?
I was able to do first three with the below query, but drop table was not possible.
Hope it helps!
There are two tables: table_1(old),table_2(new). Both have one column "ID".
insert into table_2(id) #inserts into table
select case when
(
select count(*) from table_1 a #checks if there are any records in the table
where exists #checks if table exists
(select 1 from table_1 b where a.id=b.id))>0 then
id
else 0 end
from table_1
I have a table that contains some duplicate redords. I want to make records unique. I created a new table (say, destination) and I specified a unique column in it. How can copy records from table1 (source) such that, if the record inserted in the destination table, it does not insert it again.
You can use the "select into" construct and select insert only distinct rows, like this:
insert into table_without_dupes (column0, column1) select distinct column0, column1 from table_with_dupes
If you have autoincrement or other columns that makes the rows distinct, you can just leave them out of the insert and select parts of the statement.
Edit:
If you want to detect duplicates by a single column, you can use group by:
insert into table_without_dupes (column0, column1) select column0, column1 from table_with_dupes group by column0
MySQL will allow you to refer non-aggregated columns in select, but remember that the documentation says "The server is free to choose any value from each group", if you want to select one specific row of the groups, you might find this example useful.
Generic approach
insert into destination(col1,col2)
select DISTINCT col1,col2 from source as s where not exists
(select * from destination as d where d.col1=s.col1)
Edited
insert into destination(col1,col2)
SELECT distinct col1,col2 from source
Edited (Assuming col3 is duplicated and you want only one copy of it.)
insert into destination(col1,col2,col3,....,colN)
SELECT col1,col2,col3,...,colN from source as s1 inner join
(
select col1,col2,max(col3) as col3
from source
group by col1,col2
) as s2 on t1.col1=t2.col1 and t1.col2=t2.col2 and t1.col3=t2.col3
insert into <dest_table_name>
select distinct * from <source_table_name>;
I have a MySql table which has about 100k rows. there is one field say id which contains numbers from 1-35. all these records fall in this range of id i.e. all these records have value of id column between 1-35.
Now i want to create another table which will have one row of each id. i.e the new table should have 35 rows only.
How to go about it ?
create table new_table (id int);
insert into new_table
select distinct id from big_table;
Edit:
You can create the new_table by outputting the big_table create script and changing the name.
SHOW CREATE TABLE big_table;
/* modify the name of the output and execute */
insert into new_table
select * from big_table group by id
You have a table with 100.000 rows, and you want a new table with 35 rows. What values do you want for the remaining columns?
If the answer is: doesn't matter, this works:
CREATE TABLE newTable
SELECT * FROM yourTable
GROUP BY ID;
If you only want the IDs,
CREATE TABLE newTable
SELECT DISTINCT ID FROM yourTable;
You can copy data from one table to another even difference database(Schema) as following
INSERT INTO [DestDatabase].[DestTablName]
SELECT [ColumnName] FROM [SourceDatabase].[SourceTablName];
So, you can use two way:
1:
INSERT INTO tbl_New
SELECT DISTINCT id from tbl_Original;
2:
INSERT INTO tbl_New
SELECT id from tbl_Original GROUP BY id;
