insert MySQL table data into a new table of a new database

76 New Member
Hi,
Is there any way I could insert the data from my current database table to a new table in a new database easily without the need to insert them one-by-one?
I'd appreciate it.

To copy a table for the current (default) database:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS dbName;
  2. CREATE DATABASE dbName;
  3. CREATE TABLE dbName.tableName LIKE tableName;
  4. INSERT INTO dbName.tableName SELECT * FROM tableName;

  2. CREATE DATABASE dbName;
  3. CREATE TABLE dbName.tableName LIKE tableName;
  4. INSERT INTO dbName.tableName SELECT * FROM tableName;
These commands will DROP the database dbName and create a empty database with the same name. If you already have the database, then you don't need to execute these commands.
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS dbName;
  2. CREATE DATABASE dbName;
  3.  
The following command will select the data from old database and insert into the new one.
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. INSERT INTO dbName.tableName SELECT * FROM tableName;
  2.  
If you have not created the destination (new database), then simply use bartonc's commands.

I have a problem that I'm not sure if it can be done. I'm trying to use the MySQL C API to be able to use a normal sql insert statement that will send the data or file to a directory and NOT the database. I'm not sure if there is anything out there that will allow this, but I've searched everywhere, and I have found no solution. If anyone has any work around solutions, I also welcome those. Thanks for the help.

I don't know whether anyone can help, but I have an odd problem. I have a PSP (Spyce) script that makes many calls to populate a database. They all work without any problem except for one statement. I first connect to the database... self.con = MySQLdb.connect(user=username, passwd =password) self.cursor = self.con.cursor() self.cursor.execute("SET max_error_count=0")

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
