Laravel 5.4-将数据从一个表复制到同一数据库中的另一表

Question

Is there any way to copy entire data from one table to another table?

Condition: without making these data to retrieve from one table and storing to array than saving to another table.

Reason according to me:

1. running these entire database on localhost
2. there are nearly avg 100k rows
3. retrieving to array is costly with respect to memory (don't care) but time (important, as entire db on localhost which process slowly)

Answer 1

To copy data from one table and also all the dependent objects of the table, you use the following statements:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS new_table LIKE existing_table;

INSERT new_table
SELECT * FROM existing_table;

Answer 2

$results = DB::select( DB::raw("CREATE TABLE tbl_new AS SELECT * FROM tbl_old;'") );

I believe you will get what you want.
