how to copy a data from one table to another table

  • hi

    i am having one table like  xxx

    id    name address  parent_id

    1     ddd    mumbai      null

    2     eee    mumbai      1

    3     ff        mumbai     2

    now i want to copy the data from xxx table into yyy, like this

    table:yyy

    id   name     address   parent_id

    4     ddd      mumbai   null

    5     eee     mumbai    4

    6     ff       mumbai     5

    here id should not be repeated from xxx

     

  • ASSUMPTION:  ID = IDENTITY.

    Just run INSERT INTO Table2 ([Name], Address) SELECT ([Name], Address) FROM Table1

    Parent_ID will need to be manually recreated (I am thinking)....

  • here id will be the newid and between col1 and col3 there is a parent child relation..can we do though store procedure

  • Nazri,

    AFAIK IF you are changing the IDs you will have to create the links the old fashioned way MANUALLY....  unless you can figure out the NEWID and compare it to the OLD ID to determine the DELTA and then run an UPDATE Statement after the initial INSERT....
