Question

I was wondering if it is possible to move all rows of data from one table to another, that match a certain query?

For example, I need to move all table rows from Tab

Answer 1

You should be able to with a subquery in the INSERT statement.

INSERT INTO table1(column1, column2) SELECT column1, column2 FROM table2 WHERE ...;

followed by deleting from table1.

Remember to run it as a single transaction so that if anything goes wrong you can roll the entire operation back.
