insert data from one table to another in mysql

Question

i want to read all data from one table and insert some data in to another table. my query is

  INSERT INTO mt_magazine_subscription ( 
      magazine_subscr         


        

Answer 1

INSERT INTO destination_table ( 
      Field_1, 
      Field_2, 
      Field_3) 
SELECT Field_1, 
      Field_2, 
      Field_3 
      FROM source_table;

BUT this is a BAD MYSQL

Do this instead:

1. drop the destination table: DROP DESTINATION_TABLE;
2. CREATE TABLE DESTINATION_TABLE AS (SELECT * FROM SOURCE_TABLE);
