Need MySQL help with short query..
 

I have two tables A and B. I want update table A with all entries from table B. Tables have different structures but 2 colums that I want to copy are the same. Help brother out.

If you're ever scratching your head about a command, do a search for "COMMAND mysql" and the mysql site is usually the first result.

I presume you want something like this...

INSERT INTO table_B (column1,column2) SELECT column1,column2 FROM table_A;

Back up your data first.

sorry, I should have added that I need to do UPDATE not insert because there's a default value in that field already. I looked all over but still can't figure out what Im doing wrong.

Ok, case closed. Figured it out.

So what was the answer? :) REPLACE INTO?

Love these threads...

HELP ME HELP ME...

Okay FUCK OFF... I GOT IT...

Yeech... at least post what you did that fixed it.

no, just update.. I was overdoing it. It was easy one.

UPDATE videos v, banners b SET v.BANNER_NAME = b.BANNER_NAME, v.BANNER_URL = b.BANNER_URL WHERE v.VIDEOID = b.VIDEOID
