I am overlooking something as for the code to update the user table. Maybe it would
help to make it more concrete.
Assume that I create two tables with the following statements:
CREATE TABLE system (
sysid INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
sysname VARCHAR(12),
os VARCHAR(10),
cpumhz INT
);
CREATE TABLE user (
sysid INT REFERENCES system,
username VARCHAR(30)
);
Also assume that I have inserted data into the system table as follows:
+-------+---------+-------+--------+
| sysid | sysname | os | cpumhz |
+-------+---------+-------+--------+
| 1 | system1 | Linux | 1000 |
| 2 | system2 | Unix | 350 |
| 3 | system3 | Linux | 2000 |
| 4 | system4 | Linux | 2000 |
+-------+---------+-------+--------+
I want to associate John Doe with system1. How do I get mysql to extract the sysid
from the system table and then update the user table with the sysid and the username?
Thanks,
Phil
