I want to copy a table\'s schema as well as the data within that table to another database table in another database on a live server. How could I do this?
CREATE TABLE db2.table_new AS SELECT * FROM db1.table_old
In BASH you can do:
mysqldump database_1 table | mysql database_2
simply use -
CREATE TABLE DB2.newtablename SELECT * FROM DB1.existingtablename;
In Commandline:
mysqldump -h localhost -u username -ppassword [SCHEMA] --tables [TABLE] | mysql -h otherhost -u username -ppassword [SCHEMA2]
This will copy table inside SCHEMA on localhost to SCHEMA2 on otherhost.
localhost and otherhost are just hostname and might be same or different.
If you want to copy a table from one Database to another database , You can simply do as below.
CREATE TABLE db2.table LIKE db1.table;
INSERT INTO db2.table SELECT * FROM db1.table;
or just CREATE TABLE db2.table SELECT * FROM db1.table in MySQL 5
