Duplicate / Copy records in the same MySQL table

Question

I have been looking for a while now but I can not find an easy solution for my problem. I would like to duplicate a record in a table, but of course, the unique primary key

Answer 1

Your approach is good but the problem is that you use "*" instead enlisting fields names. If you put all the columns names excep primary key your script will work like charm on one or many records.

INSERT INTO invoices (iv.field_name, iv.field_name,iv.field_name ) SELECT iv.field_name, iv.field_name,iv.field_name FROM invoices AS iv WHERE iv.ID=XXXXX
