Question

copy all columns of a table in another table having different order of columns

I have two tables named

1... product (pid, pname, pdesc, code, stock)
2... product1(pid, pname, img1, img2, pdesc, code, stock)

actually there are two more (img1, img2) columns added as required, so new table created product

have tried this out

[update product1
set pdesc = (select pdesc from product )]

maybe it contains errorful code, (little lack of knowledge in sql)

so just do me a favor, and rewrite it again… please

Answer 1

insert into product1 (pid, pname, pdesc, code, stock)
select * from product

But if pid is an auto-increment column you have to leave that one and do

insert into product1 (pname, pdesc, code, stock)
select pname, pdesc, code, stock from product

And if img1 and img2can’t be null you have to give them an default value like this:

insert into product1 (pname, img1, img2, pdesc, code, stock)
select pname, '', '', pdesc, code, stock from product
