Copy rows from one table onto another using INSERT query [closed]

Answer 1

It sounds like you want to run the above SELECT statement and INSERT the results into a new table that does not exist. If so, this should work:

SELECT * INTO YourNewTable
FROM mygrist_tables 
WHERE suic_att>=5 AND gender='M'

Assuming YourNewTable already existed, then you'd need to run INSERT INTO:

INSERT INTO YourNewTable 
SELECT * 
FROM mygrist_tables 
WHERE suic_att>=5 AND gender='M'

Optionally you may need to specify the columns in they are not the same.

EDIT - Rereading comments and realizing DB is MySQL, to create a new table from a SQL statement, you should use:

CREATE TABLE YourNewTable
SELECT *
FROM mygrist_tables 
WHERE suic_att>=5 AND gender='M';

Answer 2

You can use the SELECT INTO syntax

SELECT * 
INTO MyNewTable
FROM mygrist_tables WHERE suic_att>=5 AND gender='M'

But you won't be able to insert into a table that already exists like that. If your table already exists, you would use

INSERT INTO MyOldTable
([LIST OUT YOUR COLUMNS HERE])
SELECT [LIST OUT YOUR COLUMNS HERE] 
FROM mygrist_tables WHERE suic_att>=5 AND gender='M'
