how to transfer demo data from one table to another
i have some demo data i need to transfer to another table.
table 1 looks like
ID description
123345 blue napkin
123322 blue napkin
123323 green napkin
etc... through 1500 records
table 2 looks like
user ID ID description group
5 e43se green pants 10
5 e3212 orange pants 10
6 93992 red pants 11
7 91322 black pants 11
etc.... through 10K+ records
i need to take the all the values in table 1 and put them in table 2.... for the first 1500 records
i just want to blow away the existing values for the ID and description in table 2
there is no link between the 2 tables.

Just so we don't have to guess, give us a data mockup of what the final set would look like.

result
table 2
user ID ID description group
5 123345 blue napkin 10
5 123322 blue napkin 10
6 123323 green napkin 11
etc.... through the first 1500 records of the 10K+ records originally in table 2
leaving user id and group (and all the other fields i didnt show) intact. overwriting ID and description for the first 1500 records in table 2
table 2
user ID ID description group
5 123345 blue napkin 10
5 123322 blue napkin 10
6 123323 green napkin 11
etc.... through the first 1500 records of the 10K+ records originally in table 2
leaving user id and group (and all the other fields i didnt show) intact. overwriting ID and description for the first 1500 records in table 2
And how do we know which ones are the first 1500 records?
