How to retrieve MYSQL records as an INSERT statement.
- by Aglystas
I'm trying come up with the best method of synchronizing particular rows of 2 different database tables. So, for example there's 2 product tables in different databases as such...
Origin Database
product{
merchant_id,
product_id,
... additional fields
}
Destination Database
product{
merchant_id
product_id
... additional fields
}
So, the database schema is the same for both. However I'm looking to select records with a particular merchant_id, remove all records from the destination table that have that merchant_id and replace those records with records from the origin database of the same merchant_id.
My first thought was using mysqldump, parsing out the create table statements, and only running the Insert Statements. Seems like a pain though. So I was wondering if there is a better technique to do this.
I would think mysql has some method of creating INSERT statements as output from a SELECT statement, so you can define how to insert specific record information into a new db.
Any help would be appreciated, thank you much.
