Unable to copy column data from one table to another in MySQL
<p>I have one table in which each row (event) has a unique (integer) ID. I have another table, which includes the same events, and I am trying to copy the ID column from the first table to the next with no luck. I have tried creating a blank column in the second table first and I have tried it without having a blank column prepared. When I run my queries, it will spin and say that it was successfully executed, but the column in the second table is never updated.</p>

<p>Here is my query:</p>

<pre><code>insert into games2 game_id
(
select games.game_id as game_id
from
games2 join games
on games2.DATE = games.DATE and
games2.HOME = games.HOME and
games2.AWAY = games.AWAY
)
</code></pre>
