copy all columns of a table in another table having different order of columns

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

1... product (pname, pdesc, qty)
2... product1(pname, img1, img2, pdesc, qty)
actually there are two more (img1, img2) columns added as required, so new table created product

have tried this out

SQL

insert into product1 (pname, qty, pdesc)
select pname, qty, pdesc from product

maybe it contains errorful code, (little lack of knowledge in sql)

so just do me a favor, and rewrite it again... please

Hi, I have tested your query and it's running ok, so I think that the problem may be the type of data that you are using for the columns or if the second table (product1) doesn't allow null values for the rest of the fields that are not being inserted. It could help if you specify the type of error you are getting from SQL.

If img1 and img2 are required fields, add anything to these fields.

SQL

INSERT INTO product1 (pname, qty, pdesc, img1, img2)
SELECT pname, qty, pdesc, 0 AS img1, 0 AS img2
FROM product

If nullable values are accepted, try this query:

SQL

INSERT INTO product1 (pname, qty, pdesc, img1, img2)
SELECT pname, qty, pdesc, NULL AS img1, NULL AS img2
FROM product

Solution 2

The query looks correct - check the types of the columns.
