I have two tables, with same schema –
x
create table test1 (
a INT NOT NULL ,
b INT NOT NULL ,
c INT,
PRIMARY KEY (a,b)
);
create table test2 (
a INT NOT NULL ,
b INT NOT NULL ,
c INT,
PRIMARY KEY (a,b)
);
I want to insert values from test2 table into test1, but if the row with same primary key already exist, update it. I know in mysql you can do similar thing with ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE like –
INSERT INTO test1 VALUES (1,2,3)
ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE c=3;
But I dont know how to do the above query with a SELECT from another table. What I am looking for is a query of form –
INSERT INTO test2
SELECT a, b, c FROM test1
ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE c = c + t.c
(Select a, b, c from tests1)t;
This query is obviously invalid. I would appreciate if somebody can make a valid query out of it.

This should work for you:
INSERT INTO test2
SELECT a, b, c as c1 FROM test1
ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE c = c + c1
