obsidian Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 sounds like you're basically running a backup script of one table. if this is the case, you really could just do an INSERT from SELECT. i'll try to illustrate it here:[!--sql--][div class=\'sqltop\']SQL[/div][div class=\'sqlmain\'][!--sql1--]/* first, clean out the backup table */TRUNCATE TABLE backupTable;/* now, [span style=\'color:blue;font-weight:bold\']insert[/span] all the records */[span style=\'color:blue;font-weight:bold\']INSERT[/span] [color=green]INTO[/color] [color=orange]backupTable[/color] (field1, field2, field3) [span style=\'color:blue;font-weight:bold\']SELECT[/span] a.field1, a.field2, a.field3 [color=green]FROM[/color] [color=orange]origTable[/color] a;[!--sql2--][/div][!--sql3--]hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
