Answer 1

You can use INSERT...SELECT syntax. Note that you can quote '1' directly in the SELECT part.

INSERT INTO mt_magazine_subscription ( 
      magazine_subscription_id, 
      subscription_name, 
      magazine_id, 
      status ) 
SELECT magazine_subscription_id, 
       subscription_name, 
       magazine_id, 
       '1'
FROM tbl_magazine_subscription
ORDER BY magazine_subscription_id ASC 

Answer 2

  INSERT INTO mt_magazine_subscription ( 
      magazine_subscription_id, 
      subscription_name, 
      magazine_id, 
      status ) 
  VALUES ( 
      (SELECT magazine_subscription_id, 
              subscription_name, 
              magazine_id,'1' as status
       FROM tbl_magazine_subscription 
       ORDER BY magazine_subscription_id ASC))

Answer 3

It wont work like this.

When you try to insert the row using a query all values should be there in query.

With the above problem you want to insert magazine_subscription_id, subscription_name, magazine_id, status in select query you have magazine_subscription_id, subscription_name, magazine_id, status 1 it is not possible.

If you want to insert either you need to insert using query of direct values

Answer 4

If there is a primary key like "id" you have to exclude it for example my php table has: id, col2,col3,col4 columns. id is primary key so if I run this code:

INSERT INTO php  (SELECT * FROM php);

I probably get this error:

#1062 - Duplicate entry '1' for key 'PRIMARY'

So here is the solution, I excluded "id" key:

INSERT INTO php ( col2,col3,col4)  (SELECT col2,col3,col4 FROM php2);

So my new php table has all php2 table rows anymore.

Answer 5

INSERT INTO mt_magazine_subscription SELECT *
       FROM tbl_magazine_subscription 
       ORDER BY magazine_subscription_id ASC

Answer 6

Try this. Your doing in wrong way.

    INSERT INTO mt_magazine_subscription( 
    magazine_subscription_id, 
    subscription_name, 
    magazine_id, status) VALUES ( 
         (SELECT magazine_subscription_id, subscription_name, 
                 magazine_id,1 as status FROM tbl_magazine_subscription 
                 ORDER BY magazine_subscription_id ASC)
    )
