Inserting rows to a table from another SELECT - MySQL

Question

I have a table called CountriesList with ID and Country columns.
I have another table called Entries which have a column named Country .

I would like to INSERT all the countries in Entries into CountriesList... I am using the following syntax:

INSERT INTO CountriesList ('Country') 
SELECT DISTINCT ('Country')
FROM  `Entries`

However, I get

1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax

What is wrong with the syntax?

Answer 1

Don't mix up single quotes ( ' ) and backticks ( ` ).

Single quotes are used for strings.

INSERT INTO `CountriesList`

SELECT DISTINCT `Country` FROM `Entries`

Answer 2

Insert into entries(country) 

     select distinct(country) from 

    countrylist where country not in

Answer 3

INSERT INTO CountriesList
(Country) 
SELECT DISTINCT Country FROM  Entries

Answer 4

尝试将此插入项（国家/地区）中，从CountrysList选择国家
