Question

I’m working on a multi lingual system using database ,
am Trying to clone all record with specific language_id ‘EN’ , and clone into same table but different language_id with same key_value and key text

table language

id---language_id---key_value---key_text
1        EN        _WELCOME    Welcome              
2        CH        _WELCOME      ...            
3        EN        _LOG_IN     Log In               
4        CH        _LOG_IN       ...              

Did some workhome , but its not working , not sure this is right way of doing the job.

INSERT INTO language (language_id,key_value,key_text)
(SELECT 'FR','key_value','key_text' FROM language  WHERE language_id='EN' )

//Unknown column 'language_id' in 'where clause'

I got this sample from some old webs tutorial , but they are working on different table

Answer 1

If you want to insert all 'EN' data as 'FR', Try; T-Sql

INSERT INTO language (language_id,key_value,key_text)
SELECT 'FR' as language_id, key_value, key_text 
FROM language  WHERE language_id='EN'
