Is it possible to do an insert into with subselect and group by with an additional on duplicate insert ?
CREATE TABLE NEW_TABLE ( `a` varchar(10), `b` double ) engine=MyISAM; INSERT INTO NEW_TABLE (select old.x,sum(old.y) from OLD_TABLE old group by old.a) on duplicate key update b=sum(old.y); I get invalid group by clause on that. Currently I achieve the same thing using two seperate queries, but wondered if I could consolidate as they take ~ 30mins in total (much more complex tables). Anyway, more curious than anything on why it's disallowed and if it's just something silly I'm missing. Phil -- Help build our city at http://free-dc.myminicity.com !
