Author need to combine tables
Jennifer Mar

2006-01-27, 9:23 am

hi,

I recently migrated a database from an old server to a new one. however, one
of the tables didn't copy over all of the data, specifically one column. I
have the missing data on the old server but am unable to restore from a
backup b/c new data has already been input to the new server. is there a sql
statement that will allow me to merge the 2 tables?

table structure:
primary key - list of 3's in sequential order (1,2,3,4, etc.)
need to build a relationship with two columns: journal entry and date
missing data is a column called aatrxsource

thanks,
jen

Hi Jen,

I think I can help, but not with these specifications. Could you please
post some CREATE TABLE statements (including all constraints!), a few
INSERT statements to illustrate how your data looks and the expected
output?

Thanks for you help. My colleague actually figured it out. Great to know
that there's support in this newsgroup!
