Appending from one table to other
Hi all,
How to append from one table to other (tables are not the same, they have some fields same, but the order is not the same), without this kind of code:
Table1FIELD.Value:=Table2F
It has to be possible (Batch move DOES NOT do the Yob)...
TableSource have all fields from TableDestination, but tabledestination is bigger and fields have different order.

TBatchMove standalone component allows you to specify the field link definitions under the Mappings property and is much more powerful than tTable.Batchmove.
hi robert,
you can do it with a sql-statement like
insert into DestTable
(DestField1,
DestFirld2)
select
SourceField1,
SourceField2
from SourceTable

YEs, it does the job. As elkiors suggested, just set the MAPPINGS property correctly are you'll be on the right track.

Not to worry, I was after you helping me with some create table + validation problems, it's not critical so think no more about it.

well robert,
lets say we have two tables,
tableName_Source contains the fields
a,b,c
tableName_Dest contains the fields
d,e,f,g,h
and we want to append records by insterting the fields a,c into the fields e,h
the sql-statement is then
insert into table_Dest (e,h) select a,c from table_Source
in code
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender
begin
query1.Close;
query1.SQL.Clear;
query1.SQL.Add('insert into table_Dest (e,h) select a,c from table_Source');
try
query1.ExecSQL;
showmessage(inttoStr(query
except
showmessage('There was an error');
end;
end;
one remark, source- and destinationfields should have the same datatyp
