Hi every one!

I am new with MySql, but I am familiar with SQL Server.
I have a problem with MySql.

I want to select records from a table and insert into a new or temporary table.
In SQL Server

select * into NewTable from ExistingTable
or select * into #TmpTable from ExistingTable

How to follow these in MySql?

Thanks!

In MySQL, you can use SELECT into as follows:

SELECT field1, field2 INTO var1,var2 FROM table1 LIMIT 1;

This will allow us to store the selected columns directly into variables.

You should create a temp table first and then use

insert into temp_table ... select * from table.. example reference:
