If you have shell access you may use mysqldump to dump the content of database1 table1 and pipe it to mysql to database2  The problem here is that table1 is still table1   mysqldump --user user1 --password password1 database1 table1     mysql --user user2 --password password2 database2   Maybe you need to rename table1 to table2 with another query  On the other way you might use sed to change table1 to table2 between the to pipes   mysqldump --user user1 --password password1 database1 table1     sed -e  s  table1   table2        mysql --user user2 --password password2 database2   If table2 already exists  you might add the parameters to the first mysqldump which dont let create the table-creates   mysqldump --no-create-info --no-create-db --user user1 --password password1 database1 table1     sed -e  s  table1   table2        mysql --user user2 --password password2 database2

Is this something you need to do regularly  or just a one off   You can do an export  eg using phpMyAdmin or similar  that will script out your table and its contents to a text file  then you could re-import that into the other Database

One simple way to get all the queries you need is to use the data from information schema and concat   SELECT concat  CREATE TABLE new db    TABLE NAME    LIKE old db    TABLE NAME       FROM  TABLES  WHERE TABLE SCHEMA    old db     You ll then get a list of results that looks like this   CREATE TABLE new db articles LIKE old db articles  CREATE TABLE new db categories LIKE old db categories  CREATE TABLE new db users LIKE old db users        You can then just run those queries   However it won t work with MySQL Views  You can avoid them by appending AND TABLE TYPE    BASE TABLE  from the initial query

First create the dump  Added the --no-create-info --no-create-db flags if table2 already exists  mysqldump -u user1 -p database1 table1  gt  dump sql  Then enter user1 password  Then  sed -e  s  table1   table2    dump sql  mysql -u user2 -p database2  lt  dump sql  Then enter user2 password  Same as  helmors answer but the approach is more secure as passwords aren t exposed in raw text to the console  reverse-i-search  password sniffers  etc   Other approach is fine if it s executed from a script file with appropriate restrictions placed on it s permissions
