siamiam Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 I'm using mySQL 5.5.9 and I'm attempting to insert data from one table into another. I have two tables, they both contain a column named 'chargify_id'. I need to copy the chargify_id from table1 into table2 for each entry where the user IDs match (user_id and ID) INSERT INTO table2 (chargify_id) SELECT chargify_id FROM table1 WHERE table1.user_id = table2.ID I feel like I'm close, but perhaps not.
