It wont work like this   When you try to insert the row using a query all values should be there in query   With the above problem you want to insert magazine subscription id  subscription name  magazine id  status in select query you have magazine subscription id  subscription name  magazine id  status 1 it is not possible   If you want to insert either you need to insert using query of direct values

INSERT INTO destination table          Field 1         Field 2         Field 3   SELECT Field 1         Field 2         Field 3        FROM source table    BUT this is a BAD MYSQL  Do this instead    drop the destination table  DROP DESTINATION TABLE  CREATE TABLE DESTINATION TABLE AS  SELECT   FROM SOURCE TABLE

Actually the mysql query for copy data from one table to another is Insert into table2 name  column names  select column name from table1  where  the values copied from table1 to table2

If there is a primary key like  id  you have to exclude it for example my php table has  id  col2 col3 col4 columns  id is primary key so if I run this code   INSERT INTO php   SELECT   FROM php     I probably get this error    1062 - Duplicate entry  1  for key  PRIMARY   So here is the solution  I excluded  id  key   INSERT INTO php   col2 col3 col4    SELECT col2 col3 col4 FROM php2     So my new php table has all php2 table rows anymore

You can use INSERT   SELECT syntax  Note that you can quote  1  directly in the SELECT part   INSERT INTO mt magazine subscription          magazine subscription id         subscription name         magazine id         status    SELECT magazine subscription id          subscription name          magazine id           1  FROM tbl magazine subscription ORDER BY magazine subscription id ASC
