copy

I have a table posts that could look like this:

  id  |  title  |  body  |  created  | ..
-------------------------------------------

I would like to use the boolean search feature that is offered by a MyISAM Table, but the posts table is InnoDB. So I created another table 'post_contents' that looks like this:

  post_id  |  body
--------------------

That table is already filled with some contents and I can use the boolean search. However, I need to move the title field in the post_contents table as well and then copy the existing title-data to the new field.

I know about the INSERT .. SELECT syntax, but I don't seem to be able to create the correct query.
