How to copy table between two models in Mysql workbench?

Question

I am doing some databese thing, I need copy one table from one model to another, but i try many ways there no effect. Is there any way for doing this?

Answer 1

Your best option is probably to create a stripped down version of the model that contains the objects you want to carry over. Then open the target model and run File -> Include Model.... Select the stripped down source model and there you go.

Answer 2

If you just want to do a single table through the MySQL Workbench.

In MySQL Workbench:

1. Connect to a MySQL Server
2. Expand a Database
3. Right Click on a table
4. Select Copy To Clipboard
5. Select Create Statement

A create statement for the table will be copied to your clipboard similar to the below:

   CREATE TABLE `cache` (
  `cid` varchar(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  `data` longblob,
  `expire` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
  `created` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
  `headers` text,
  `serialized` smallint(6) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
  PRIMARY KEY (`cid`),
  KEY `expire` (`expire`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

Create the table in the new database

1. Open a new SQL tab for executing queries (File->New Query Tab)

2. Alter the create table code to include the database to create the table on.

    CREATE TABLE `databaseName`.`cache` (
     `cid` varchar(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
     `data` longblob,
     `expire` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
     `created` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
     `headers` text,
     `serialized` smallint(6) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
     PRIMARY KEY (`cid`),
     KEY `expire` (`expire`)
   ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

3. Then click the Execute button (looks like a lightening Bolt)

That will copy the table schema from one db to another using the MySQL workbench. Just refresh the tables in the database and you should see your newly added table

Answer 3

1. Select tab with source database
2. In menu: Server->Data Export
3. Select Schema and the Table as Schema Object
4. Select option Export to Self-Contained File and check Create Dump in a Single Transaction (self-contained only)
5. Copy full file path to clipboard
6. Start Export
7. Select tab with target database
8. In menu: Server->Data Import. Make sure your target database name is at the top left corner of the Data Import view
9. Select Import from self contained file and paste full file path from clipboard
10. Select Default Target Schema
11. Select Dump Content (Dump Structure and Data etc…)
12. Start Import

Answer 4

You can just use a select statement. Here I am creating a duplicate of "original_table" table from the "original_schema" schema/database to the "new_schema" schema :

CREATE TABLE new_schema.duplicate_table AS
Select * from original_schema.original_table;

You can just put any select statement you need ,add a condition and select the columns :

CREATE TABLE new_schema.duplicate_table AS
SELECT column1, column2       
FROM original_schema.original_table
WHERE column2 < 11000000;

Answer 5

I think it is worth mentioning that

1. a copied table may reference fields in tables of the original schema, that do not exist, in the schema where it's to be copied. It might be a good idea, to inspect the table for these discrepancies, before adding it to the other schema.
2. it's probably a good idea, to check engine compatibility (e.g. InnoDB vs MyISAM) and character set.

Answer 6

step 1 : Righit click on table > copy to clipboard > create statement

step 2: paste clipboard in the query field of workbench.

step 3: remove (``) from the name of the table and name of the model(schema)followed by a dot.

eg : `cusine_menus` -> schema_name.cusine_menus

execute

If you already have your table created and just want to copy the data, I'd recommend using the "Export Data Wizard" and "Import Data Wizard". It is basically choosing stuff in the program for exporting and then importing the data and is easy to use.

MySQL has an article on the wizards here: Table Data Export and Import Wizard

To copy data using the wizards, do the following:

1. Find the table in the list from which you want to copy data from.
2. Right click and choose "Table Data Export Wizard."
3. Choose the columns you wish to copy.

4. Choose a location to save a *.csv or *.json file with the copied data.

5. Find the table to insert the copied data to.

6. Right click and choose "Table data import wizard".
7. Choose the file you just exported.
8. Map the columns from the table you copied from to the table you insert to.
9. Press "Finish". The data is inserted as you chose.

Answer 8

create table .m_property_nature like .m_property_nature;

INSERT INTO .m_property_nature SELECT * from .m_property_nature;

Answer 9

You can get the crate table query from table info and use the same query on different database instance.

1. show create table TABLENAME.content and copy the query;
2. Run the generated query on another Db instance connected.

Answer 10

In this post, we are going to show you how to copy a table in MySQL

First, this query will copy the data and structure, but the indexes are not included:

CREATE TABLE new_table SELECT * FROM old_table;

Second, this query will copy the table structure and indexes, but not data:

CREATE TABLE new_table LIKE old_table;

So, to copy everything, including database objects such as indexes, primary key constraint, foreign key constraints, triggers, etc., run these queries:

CREATE TABLE new_table LIKE old_table; 
INSERT new_table SELECT * FROM old_table;

If you want to copy a table from one database to another database:

CREATE TABLE destination_db.new_table LIKE source_db.old_table;

INSERT destination_db.new_table
SELECT
    *
FROM
    source_db.old_table;
