mylo Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Hello, my problem is, that i have a foreign mysql database which can't be changed. It contains some tables. What i want to do is to create a small subset of this database and use the values of it in my own, cleaner, table structure. My problem is, how to do this? Should i use views, or triggers or what? I don't want do change the content, only the fieldnames and the amount of them.

mylo Posted November 24, 2008 Author Share Posted November 24, 2008 Hm, maybe i get something wrong, but doc says: "The structure of this table must be exactly the same as that of the remote table..." which, in my case, is not the task. I need to be other than the source table.

Mchl Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I suppose, you would need to make a link to the remote table using FEDERATED engine, and then create a view, that would select those columns, that you need. I am not really sure, never done something like that.

mylo Posted November 24, 2008 Author Share Posted November 24, 2008 To clarify things, i need to "mix" fields from an existing table with "translated" fieldnames into a table with my own fields. Both tables reside on the same mysql server.
