Add the data of two similar tables in Mysql

Question

I have two similar tables with same columns. I just want to add the data of the column of one table with the corresponding data of the column of another table. Thus, form a new table which consists of the sum of individual data of both the tables. Would you please help me?

Answer 1

something like this?

INSERT INTO myTable 
    SELECT 
        s.salary + t.salary AS salary, 
        s.name 
    FROM table_name s
    JOIN table_name_2 t ON t.name = s.name -- or whatever parameter you use to join the two tables on

Answer 2

you can do like

insert into newTable select * from table1;
insert into NewTable select * from table2; 

this will insert two tables data to new Table.
