Re: Copying specific fields from table to table

I've got 2 tables. One table which contains a series of barcodes assigned to product id #'s, and another table with JUST product id #'s. I need to somehow transfer all the barcodes from the first table into the second table, but only where the id #'s match. Can anyone tell me if this is something that can be done with just a SQL statement, or do I need to write a PHP script to loop through the records of both tables and do the copying/mapping?

insert into table (field1, field2) select field1, field2 from t1 inner join t2 using (field_id); or something like that. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/insert-select.html -- Postgresql & php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/
