IIRC, the table you're INSERTing into cannot be the same table you SELECT from - you're trying to take records from the table 'foo' and insert them into the same table. > mysql> insert into foo.bar select id from foo.bar; > ERROR 1066: Not unique table/alias: 'bar' > mysql> This error seems to support that idea - although its not a particularly friendly way of saying it. Try creating another table, and do the select from that. Hope this helps!
