Take all records from one MySQL table and insert it to another?

For this, you can use the concept of CREATE TABLE AS SELECT statement. Let us first create a table −

mysql> create table DemoTable1518    -> (    -> EmployeeId int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,    -> EmployeeName varchar(20)    -> )AUTO_INCREMENT=101; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.69 sec)

Insert some records in the table using insert command −

mysql> insert into DemoTable1518(EmployeeName) values('John Doe'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.18 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable1518(EmployeeName) values('John Smith'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.12 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable1518(EmployeeName) values('David Miller'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.14 sec)

Display all records from the table using select statement −

mysql> select * from DemoTable1518;

This will produce the following output −

+------------+--------------+ | EmployeeId | EmployeeName | +------------+--------------+ |        101 | John Doe     | |        102 | John Smith   | |        103 | David Miller | +------------+--------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Following is the query to take all records from one MySQL table and insert it to another −

mysql> create table DemoTable1519 as select * from DemoTable1518; Query OK, 3 rows affected (0.62 sec) Records: 3  Duplicates: 0  Warnings: 0

Display all records from the table using select statement −

mysql> select * from DemoTable1519;

This will produce the following output −

+------------+--------------+ | EmployeeId | EmployeeName | +------------+--------------+ |        101 | John Doe     | |        102 | John Smith   | |        103 | David Miller | +------------+--------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
