只需少量更改，将大约1500个mysql条目复制到同一表中的最佳方法是什么？

Question

I have a number of entries in a database which are assigned to a specific account within my php application. I need to duplicate all of the entries with the account_id of 5 and give the duplicated entries an account_id of 6 so they can be edited independently by the 2 different accounts.

Normally I'd just grab all the entries with an account_id of 5 then loop through them using php inserting a new entry for each one but with 1500+ entries I imagine that's not the best idea!

Is there any way to do this with SQL?

Answer 1

INSERT INTO table (account_id, column1, column2)
SELECT 6, column1, column2 FROM table WHERE account_id = 5;
