#1136 - Column count doesn't match value count at row 1

Question

I am trying to insert ID field from one table to another using below query:

INSERT INTO `srikprag_db`.`acbalance`
SELECT `id` FROM `srikprag_mlm`.`member_table`

Error is showing:

#1136 - Column count doesn't match value count at row 1

What is the reason for this error?

Answer 1

You did not define the destination column on where the values from the SELECT statement will be saved, eg.

INSERT INTO srikprag_db.acbalance (ID)            -- <<== destination column
SELECT id
FROM   srikprag_mlm.member_table

probably you want to manipulate records across database.

Answer 2

SELECT `id` FROM `srikprag_mlm`.`member_table`

returns a result set with only 1 column ( id ).

The acbalance table probably has more than 1 column.

Answer 3

The problem is with your query you are not assigning any value to the column. You have 1 column with zero value.
