Move Records From 1 Table To Another And Including 1 Field
I've created a table called `temp` and I want to move all the rows in `temp` to `songs` based on:

`temp`.`title` -> `songs`.`title`
`temp`.`artist` -> `songs`.`artist`
`temp`.`catalog` -> `songs`.`catalog`
NOTHING -> `songs`.`userid`

There is no field in the temp table that has this value, i will need to insert it along with each record. How would I go about doing that, without looping through 1 query and inserting each as I go?

Write/Move/Save Pdf To MySQL Table?
Is upload the only way to pass a file to a table?

I have a contract.pdf which is generated via php (FPDF) and saved in a temporary file. I need that file then moved /written to the appropriate customer table in our database (MySQL ) so that the temporary file may then be overwritten by the next Customer/Order.

While I am able to upload the file via <input type="file" name="uploadpdf> and related uploader.php, asking our web-users to “browse” for the file does not suit our needs, and of course adding a default value

<input type="file" name="uploadpdf" value="http://localhost/crm/modules/Orders/contract.pdf"> doesn’t work either.

As the file is always the same (modules/Orders/contract.pdf) how may I manage that move automatically, (say with a ‘Confirm Order’ button) to the database?

Copy DATETIME From One Table To Another
I'm trying to copy a DATETIME field from one table to another using an INSERT statement like this:

SQL-Statement To Copy A Table Into A New One

Copy Table With Autoincrement
I have tried a lot to copy a table with php, but I can't:

I tried first:
CREATE TABLE copy SELECT * FROM table

but it doesn't copy autoincrement or primary key. Deleting the autoincrement column, and then assigning it, does however makes an auto_increment column, but the values doesn't correspond with the original, because some posts where deleted there, and then the auto_increment values are higher.

Then I tried to assign those two values later, by first truncating.
CREATE TABLE copy SELECT * FROM table";
$sql2="TRUNCATE TABLE copy";
$sql3="INSERT INTO copy SELECT * FROM table";
$sql4="ALTER TABLE copy ADD PRIMARY KEY (id)";
$sql5="ALTER TABLE copy CHANGE `id` `id` INT( 11 ) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT";
$sql6="ALTER TABLE copy AUTO_INCREMENT=$maxid

but that doesn't work either. Isn't there a simple way to copy a table including the primary key and the autoincrement with php?

Copy A Really Huge Table
I have a really huge table that I need to copy however using the Export function in MySqlAdmin does not work because it "times out". All I really need to do is generate an SQL script that will, drop the table if it exists, create the table and its structure, and then insert the data line by line.

Usually when you perform a command in MySqlAdmin through Internet Explorer the MySQL command line is displayed with the results. However, this does not happen when you export.

Anyone know how to do this from the MySQL command line?

In a nutshell: I need to backup a table to an SQL script file.

Searching A Copy Of A Table
Code:

CREATE TABLE `submitted_answers` (
`id` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
`survey_id` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
`question_id` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
`answer_id` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
`other_value` text,
`user_id` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
KEY `user_id` (`user_id`)
) TYPE=MyISAM

One of the questions in a survey asked about the users age. I have now been asked to pull the other answers out by how the users answered the age question. I've tried a few different ways of searching a copy of the table but the numbers being returned aren't what I'm expecting. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Here's my latest try that's giving me a number that's much too large.
Code:

SELECT count( tbl1.id ) AS count, answers.answer_text
FROM `submitted_answers` AS tbl1, `submitted_answers` AS tbl2, answers
WHERE tbl2.question_id =2
AND tbl2.answer_id =7
AND tbl2.user_id = tbl1.user_id
AND tbl1.answer_id =1
AND tbl1.question_id =1
AND tbl1.answer_id = answers.id
GROUP BY answers.id

The ids I have listed for tbl2 are selecting (or at least I think they are) how the user answered the question about age. The example shown (tbl2.question_id = 2 AND tbl2.answer_id = 7) would be the users that said they were 50+. I'm then (once again, I think I am) relating the 2 table copies by user_id to match up the rows and getting how the users in tbl2 answered the question in tbl2. As I said, this query is giving me much bigger numbers than could be true and I'm not sure why.

Copy Row Data In Same Table
I am trying to make a script that will copy data from around seven tables to another row in the table. This works fine for the first table using the insert

INSERT INTO customers (list, of, fields) SELECT list, of, fields FROM customers where customer_id = customer_number

but in the rest of the fields I dont see how it can work customer_id is the key and I want to make sure they all have the same key. Do I have to do a select first to get all the data where the id = cusomer_number then an insert a new record into the table with the new customer_id generated from the first insert?

Copy Line Of A Table
Is it possible to copy 1 or more lines out of a table into another table?

Can't Move Data From 1 DB To Another
I have two servers that are running linux with a MySql DB running on each. The old server is running MySql 4.0.20 and the new one is running MySql 4.1.12. What I am trying to do is move all the data from the old to the new. So here is what I have done so far. I used phpmyadmin to dump the data and structure and used it to rebuild the new db. Most all things went alright except for some float fields. Some data that should be 18.75 is 9.99. I have tried to use SQLyog enterprise (trial edition) and got the same results. I look at the structure of the table and in both the DBs it is the same, it is the data that is messed up. Is this a difference in the two MySql versions, and if so how can I fix this?

Move A Database To Another Pc
I have used Access2MySQL to change an access database to mysql but now I need to share that with other developers in my class. We are using mysql and java for a project for school. We need to share the database but none of us have really used mysql before (teacher to).

We did a prototype in access and are now making the program in java using mysql. the problem is how to share the database either over the internet or just make copies for each of us to use. We all have mysql loaded on our personal machines.

What would be the best way to share the database? we are using sun jse 8 for the IDE. I have made conncections to my database in java and ran a simple test program. I have used msSql but not mysql.
