hello,
I have a simple problem. I need to create a new table "smaller" using the data from an old table "larger" table. When I say smaller I mean it will have the exact structure as the older table but will have only a few records.
Now, i know that i can use:
CREATE TABLE new_table_name SELECT * FROM old_table_name WHERE id >= 1 AND id <= 5;"
but the problem is that i want to SELECT multiple sets of records. So in the example above I select WHERE id>= 1 AND id <=5 but say I also want to have id >= 10 AND id <=15 would I just do this:
CREATE TABLE new_table_name SELECT * FROM old_table_name WHERE (id >= 1 AND id <= 5) (id >= 10 AND id <= 15);"
I am using php. The usr decides what records are to be added into the new table and they are given multiple input text fields for each starting id and finishing id. I want to be able to do this with one query!
User input interface:
New Table Name : _______________
Starting ID : ___ , ___ , ___ , ___ , ___
Finishing ID : ___ , ___ , ___ , ___ , ___
Thanks for your help.
