mysql update and insert statements based on another table - mysql

Question

I need some help with the mysql statements for inserting and updating rows in a new table based on the contents of another table. I am going to use this in automated perl code, but the mysql statements themselves are what I am having trouble with.
My first table named PROFILE looks something like this:
+----------+---------------------------+
| ID | NAME |
+----------+---------------------------+
| 0 | Default profile |
| 04731470 | Development profile |
| 87645420 | Core Base |
| a41401a0 | Core Test |
| ba0e3000 | Development profile child |
| e37fe780 | Test2 |
+----------+---------------------------+
The second called DEPLOYMENT has these columns (and no rows yet):
+------------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+------------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| PROF_ID | char(36) | NO | PRI | NULL | |
| NAME | varchar(60) | NO | | NULL | |
| ID | tinyint(4) | NO | MUL | NULL | |
+------------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
ID.PROFILE is the foreign key for PROF_ID.DEPLOYMENT and I want all of the values for ID.PROFILE to go in PROF_ID.DEPLOYMENT. Then I want the NAME.DEPLOYMENT and ID.DEPLOYMENT fields to be set based on the words found in the NAME.PROFILE field.
The following shows what I want to do as far as the insert statements goes, but these failed due to "ERROR 1242 (21000): Subquery returns more than 1 row":
INSERT INTO DEPLOYMENT(PROF_ID,NAME,ID) VALUES((select ID from PROFILE where NAME like '%core%'),'Core','2');
INSERT INTO DEPLOYMENT(PROF_ID,NAME,ID) VALUES((select ID from PROFILE where NAME like '%development%'),'Dev','3');
INSERT INTO DEPLOYMENT(PROF_ID,NAME,ID) VALUES((select ID from PROFILE where NAME not like '%development%' and not like '%core%'),'Default','1');
I'm not sure where to start on the update part of this but the ID.DEPLOYMENT and NAME.DEPLOYMENT fields should change as above if the text in the NAME.PROFILE fields changes with any of the words above.
This is the resulting DEVELOPMENT table I am looking for.
+----------+---------------+----+
| PROF_ID | NAME | ID |
+----------+---------------+----+
| 0 | Default | 1 |
| 04731470 | Dev | 3 |
| 87645420 | Core | 2 |
| a41401a0 | Core | 2 |
| ba0e3000 | Dev | 3 |
| e37fe780 | Default | 1 |
+----------+---------------+----+
Then I want statements to update if any of the NAME.PROFILE information changes.
Sorry if this is confusing, I wasn't sure how to explain and I am still learning mysql. Any help is appreciated.

Just get rid of the values keyword, basically:
INSERT INTO DEPLOYMENT(PROF_ID,NAME,ID)
select ID, 'Core','2'
from PROFILE
where NAME like '%core%';
INSERT INTO DEPLOYMENT(PROF_ID,NAME,ID)
select ID, 'Dev', '3'
from PROFILE
where NAME like '%development%';
INSERT INTO DEPLOYMENT(PROF_ID,NAME,ID)
select ID, 'Default', '1'
from PROFILE
where NAME not like '%development%' and not like '%core%';
By the way, you could combine these into one statement, using conditional expressions:
INSERT INTO DEPLOYMENT(PROF_ID,NAME,ID)
select ID,
(case when NAME like '%core%' then 'Core'
when NAME like '%development%' then 'Dev'
else 'Default'
end)
(case when NAME like '%core%' then '2'
when NAME like '%development%' then '3'
else '1'
end)
from PROFILE;
