For this, you need to use an INSERT SELECT statement. The syntax is as follows
INSERT INTO yourDatabaseName1.yourTableName1(yourColumnName1,yourColumnName2,....N) SELECT yourColumnName1,yourColumnName2,....N FROM yourdatabaseName2.yourTableName2;
Here, I am using the following two databases
- sample
- test
Let us create the first table in the “test” database
<send>
mysql> use test; Database changed mysql> create table send -> ( -> Id int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, -> Name varchar(20) -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (1.19 sec)
Insert some records in the first table using insert command. The query is as follows
mysql> insert into send(Name) values('John');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.20 sec)
mysql> insert into send(Name) values('Carol');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.40 sec)Display all records from the table using a select statement
mysql> select *from send;
The following is the output
+----+-------+ | Id | Name | +----+-------+ | 1 | John | | 2 | Carol | +----+-------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Now, create the second table in the “sample” database
<receive>
mysql> use sample; Database changed mysql> create table receive -> ( -> UserId int, -> UserName varchar(20) -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.59 sec)
As you can see above, we do not have a record in the second table “receive”.
Let us now move data between 2 tables with different columns in different databases. The query is as follows
mysql> insert into sample.receive(UserId,UserName) -> select Id,Name from test.send; Query OK, 2 rows affected (0.21 sec) Records: 2 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0
Display all records from the table sample.receive. The query is as follows.
mysql> select *from receive;
The following is the output displaying we have successfully moved the date from one table to another in different databases
+--------+----------+ | UserId | UserName | +--------+----------+ | 1 | John | | 2 | Carol | +--------+----------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
