How to transfer data from table to table in mysql

Question

I want to transfer data from one table to another and also i want add an additional column in second table.

INSERT INTO invoiceitem(invoiceno, barcode, itemname, quantity, unitprice, subamount)
VALUES
    ('$Succ2', SELECT barcode, resultname, quantity, resultprice, subamount)
FROM test;

Answer 1

If you want to insert using the result set of a query, the syntax is INSERT INTO ... SELECT , ie we do not use VALUES in this case. It is possible to add a literal value to a SELECT statement, eg try this:

INSERT INTO invoiceitem (invoiceno, barcode, itemname, quantity, unitprice, subamount)
SELECT '$Succ2', barcode, resultname, quantity, resultprice, subamount
FROM test; 

Answer 2

The right syntax is:

INSERT INTO invoiceitem(invoiceno,barcode,itemname,quantity,unitprice,subamount)
SELECT '$Succ2' ,barcode,resultname,quantity,resultprice,subamount FROM test;

Answer 3

If you want to insert values from one table to another, need not use VALUES in insert query. pls refer INSERT TABLE TO ANOTHER TABLE

INSERT INTO invoiceitem (invoiceno, barcode, itemname, quantity, unitprice, subamount)
SELECT '$Succ2' barcode, resultname, quantity, resultprice, subamount
FROM test;
