mysql - Inserting the same fields from multiple tables (in a more efficient way) -
i'm looking avoid rewriting same queries below (for each unique table):
insert dbo.databasenew (field1 , field 2) select field 1, field 2 olddatabase.dbo.[table 1] description 'something'; insert dbo.databasenew (field1 , field 2) select field 1, field 2 olddatabase.dbo.[table 2] description 'something';
i've tried combining queries below, doesn't work:
insert dbo.databasenew (field1 , field 2) select field 1, field 2 olddatabase.dbo.[table 1], olddatabase.dbo.[table 2] description 'something';
any help? sorry noob question. thanks!
you use union operator
insert dbo.databasenew (field1 , field2) ( select field1, field2 olddatabase.dbo.[table 1] description 'something' union select field1, field2 olddatabase.dbo.[table 2] description 'something' );
