A single MySQL query to insert records (not all) in the second table from the first table
Use nested insert with select in MySQL for this as shown in the below syntax −
insert into yourTableName2(yourColumnName1,yourColumnName2,.....N) select yourColumnName1,yourColumnName2,....N from yourTableName1 where yourCondition;
Let us first see an example and create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable1 ( Id int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, Name varchar(40) ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.88 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable1(Name) values('Chris');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.14 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1(Name) values('David');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.11 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1(Name) values('Bob');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.12 sec)Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select *from DemoTable1;
This will produce the following output −
+----+-------+ | Id | Name | +----+-------+ | 1 | Chris | | 2 | David | | 3 | Bob | +----+-------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Following is the query to create the second table −
mysql> create table DemoTable1 ( ClientId int, ClientFirstName varchar(20) ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.60 sec)
Following is the query to insert record in the second table from the first table −
mysql> insert into DemoTable2(ClientId,ClientFirstName) select Id,Name from DemoTable1 where Id !=2; Query OK, 2 rows affected (0.17 sec) Records: 2 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0
Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select *from DemoTable2;
This will produce the following output −
+----------+-----------------+ | ClientId | ClientFirstName | +----------+-----------------+ | 1 | Chris | | 3 | Bob | +----------+-----------------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
