Just because I was here looking for this solution but for updating from another identically-structured table (in my case website test DB to live DB):
INSERT live-db.table1
SELECT *
FROM test-db.table1 t
ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE
ColToUpdate1 = t.ColToUpdate1,
ColToUpdate2 = t.ColToUpdate2,
...
As mentioned elsewhere, only the columns you want to update need to be included after ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE
.
No need to list the columns in the INSERT
or SELECT
, though I agree it's probably better practice.
