This is all useful stuff. Thanks so much.

What if i want to select a particular row at the front-end of an application using PHP code. Then, by clicking a button inside the row, the data is immediately transferred to another database?

these suggestions are overcomplicated. its pretty easy to copy the table create statement, run it in the new db and then run:

INSERT INTO newDB.table
SELECT *
FROM oldDB.table;

that copies all the indices and other table characteristics. plus, you don’t have to mess with drop table. i just did this for nine tables in less than 15 min.

if you are asking, ‘how can i copy the CREATE statement’ you should get Sequel Pro or similarly awesome UI for your DB.

the script will work if you are in the db other than the one you are altering-
Example
You want to copy A.a into B.a
SCRIPT:
>use B;
>drop table if exists `B.a`;
>use A;
>create table `B.a` select * from `a`;

Hi,

I have to copy only one column from one mysql db table to another running on different server. They have given me a wsdl for updating in destination db. the source database is in local environment. Can anyone please tell me how do I retrieve the data from sql convert into a SOAP webservice as defined by the wsdl? I have to do this in php. And I’m newbie.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
