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?

Solution 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.

Solution 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

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

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;

Solution 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.
