Re: [sqlite] Compact statement for table to table copy
I am not changing the ordering, but i do not want to copy the primary key field since it is auto increment (I neglected too mention that before, sorry).

Re: [sqlite] Compact statement for table to table copy
Well, you don't have to list the columns if you're not changing the ordering. INSERT INTO table1 SELECT * FROM table2; Rich Rattanni wrote: I have two tables in a database with exactly the same schema (idNum PRIMARY KEY, data1, data2) I want to copy all the records in table 2 to table 1, currently I am using the following statement: INSERT INTO table1 (data1, data2) SELECT data1, data2 FROM table2. Now this is just a simplified illustration, in my case I am copying about 10 columns over. I was wondering if there was a compact way to write the SQL statement, that copied the data over from one table to the other ignoring the primary key fields.

[sqlite] Compact statement for table to table copy
I have two tables in a database with exactly the same schema (idNum PRIMARY KEY, data1, data2) I want to copy all the records in table 2 to table 1, currently I am using the following statement: INSERT INTO table1 (data1, data2) SELECT data1, data2 FROM table2. Now this is just a simplified illustration, in my case I am copying about 10 columns over. I was wondering if there was a compact way to write the SQL statement, that copied the data over from one table to the other ignoring the primary key fields. I suspect there is not, but I figured it wouldnt hurt to ask. -- Thanks, Richard Rattanni - To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -
