a try.
Thanks a bunch

Hi,
You should be able to do something like
INSERT INTO newtable SELECT col1, col2, col3... FROM oldtable;
if the definition of col1, col2, col3... matches the structure of newtable.
If it doesn't, then, you can try
INSERT INTO newtable (newcol1, newcol2, newcol3...) SELECT col1, col2,
col3... FROM oldtable;
Regards
Quentin

Hi all,
I trying to insert values from one table into another table, but keep
getting an error that the columns don't match. Do I have to select from the
one table in the same order that the columns are in the table I'm trying to
insert into?
