MySQL statement to copy data from one table and insert into another table

For this, you can use INSERT INTO….SELECT statement. Let us first create a table −

mysql> create table DemoTabe1 (Marks int);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.66 sec)

Insert some records in the table using insert command −

mysql> insert into DemoTabe1 values(68);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.18 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTabe1 values(89);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.14 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTabe1 values(99);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.17 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTabe1 values(39);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.11 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTabe1 values(49);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.12 sec)

Display all records from the table using select statement −

mysql> select *from DemoTabe1;

This will produce the following output −

+-------+
| Marks |
+-------+
| 68    |
| 89    |
| 99    |
| 39    |
| 49    |
+-------+
5 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Following is the query to create second table −

mysql> create table DemoTabe2 (Score int);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.66 sec)

Here is the query for inserting data to another table −

mysql> insert into DemoTabe2(Score) select Marks from DemoTabe1;
Query OK, 5 rows affected (0.16 sec)
Records: 5 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0

Display all records from the table using select statement −

mysql> select *from DemoTabe2;

This will produce the following output. Now the same records are visible in the second table −

+-------+
| Score |
+-------+
| 68    |
| 89    |
| 99    |
| 39    |
| 49    |
+-------+
5 rows in set (0.00 sec)
