What is the MySQL SELECT INTO Equivalent?
The SELECT INTO equivalent is CREATE TABLE AS SELECT statement. The syntax is as follows −
CREATE TABLE yourNewTableName AS SELECT *FROM yourTableName;
To understand the above concept, let us create a table. The query to create a table is as follows −
mysql> create table selectIntoEquivalentDemo -> ( -> ClientId int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, -> ClientName varchar(20), -> ClientAge int -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.71 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command. The query is as follows −
mysql> insert into selectIntoEquivalentDemo(ClientName,ClientAge) values('Larry',34);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.13 sec)
mysql> insert into selectIntoEquivalentDemo(ClientName,ClientAge) values('Maxwell',44);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.06 sec)
mysql> insert into selectIntoEquivalentDemo(ClientName,ClientAge) values('Bob',38);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.07 sec)
mysql> insert into selectIntoEquivalentDemo(ClientName,ClientAge) values('David',39);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.09 sec)Display all records from the table using select statement. The query is as follows −
mysql> select *from selectIntoEquivalentDemo
Here is the output −
+----------+------------+-----------+ | ClientId | ClientName | ClientAge | +----------+------------+-----------+ | 1 | Larry | 34 | | 2 | Maxwell | 44 | | 3 | Bob | 38 | | 4 | David | 39 | +----------+------------+-----------+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
The following is the query of SELECT INTO equivalent in MySQL −
mysql> create table Client_information AS select *from selectIntoEquivalentDemo; Query OK, 4 rows affected (0.57 sec) Records: 4 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0
Now let us check the table records from the new table. The query is as follows −
mysql> select *from Client_information;
Here is the output −
+----------+------------+-----------+ | ClientId | ClientName | ClientAge | +----------+------------+-----------+ | 1 | Larry | 34 | | 2 | Maxwell | 44 | | 3 | Bob | 38 | | 4 | David | 39 | +----------+------------+-----------+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
