Using subquery as value in mysql

Question

I'm looking for a way to quickly process some table in mysql 5.0.X. I'd like to insert a row into t1 for each row in t2 . Essentially, I'd like something like this to map over every row:

REPLACE INTO t1 VALUES (CONCAT('blah/', (select username from t2)), 'value')

Is that possible without procedures?

Answer 1

Sounds like you are looking for the INSERT SELECT statement unless I am misunderstanding. Check this link for details.

Answer 2

Something like this should work for you:

REPLACE INTO t1
SELECT CONCAT('blah/',username), 'value'
FROM t2
