Question

I need to import stories from a Geeklog database to a Joomla database. Both databases are on the same server. MySQL version is 5.1.65

I will call the Geeklog database mysite_gklg and the Joomla database mysite_joom.
The table for stories in Geeklog is gl_stories and the table in Joomla is jos_content.

I need to INSERT from Geeklog gl_stories the following Columns:

 date, title, introtext, hits, meta_description, meta_keywords.

These will be inserted into Joomla jos_content the following Columns:

created, title, introtext, hits, metadesc, metakey.

I’m looking for the proper syntax to run the MySQL query.
Sorry, I don’t have much programming skill. And thanks in advance.

Answer 1

INSERT INTO Geeklog.gl_stories (date, title, introrext, hits, meta_description, meta_keywords)    
   SELECT created, title, introtext, hits, metadesc, metakey
   FROM Joomla.jos_content;

No reason this should be so unreadable.
