When I've not done any MySql for a while I forget the syntax. Thanks for this.

BTW - Cool idea for a blog \ code library!

insert into blgusers-trig (id,firstname,lastname) select id,firstname,lastname from blgusers where id=2;

i am trying this.. but i am getting an error as "You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '-trig (id,firstname,lastname) select id,firstname,lastname from blgusers where i' at line 1"

both the tables have same structures. except blgusers-trig does not have id as primary key, not null and auto increment.

let me know where is the problem in the code.

i am using MySQL 1.2.12

When using LIMIT I noticed a drop of 5 in the auto-increment field.

I want to insert the first 10 elements of several tables into tablenew plus another field with the a text of my choice.

INSERT into tablenew (c1, c2, c3) SELECT a1, a2, 'list1' from table1 LIMIT 0,10

tablenew autoincrement last record: 10

INSERT into tablenew (c1, c2, c3) SELECT b1, b2, 'list2' from table2 LIMIT 0,10

tablenew autoincrement next record: 16 instead of 11 !!! why?

You can use like this

insert into blgusers-trig (id,firstname,lastname) (select id,firstname,lastname from blgusers where id=2);

how to insert data in two tables using mysql..

computergenius said...

insert into blgusers-trig (id,firstname,lastname)
won't work, because you can't use '-' in a table name.

Change your table to blgusers_trig
