SQL Insert Command with increasing integer with phpMyAdmin [closed]

I am trying to insert data into my database but I want the data to be assigned to all numbers indicated by profile_id. My table is called “profile_meta”

So the table structure is:

profile_id | meta_key | meta_value

I want to have an SQL command that will insert the word “userclass” in the meta_key area, the word “Command” in the meta_value and the profile_id to have numbers ranging from 1 to 554.

Okay, using the SQL command, I want to add data to a table within my database. The table is “profile_meta”. The structure of the table is: profile_id | meta_key | meta_value and so basically what I want to do is database for each column without having to do it 554 times for each profile_id number

Any ideas how to do this?

Answer

It looks like you’re trying to insert a bunch of values, you can use a loop, inside a stored procedure, and then delete the stored procedure, if you want:

DELIMITER $$

DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS InsertMetaValues$$
CREATE PROCEDURE InsertMetaValues()
       BEGIN
               DECLARE x  INT;
               SET x = 1;
               WHILE x  <= 554 DO
                   INSERT INTO profile_meta(profile_id,meta_key,meta_value) VALUES(x,'userclass','Command');
                   SET  x = x + 1;
               END WHILE;
       END$$
   DELIMITER ;
   CALL InsertMetaValues();
   # IF you want to delete it after it finishes:
   # DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS InsertMetaValues;
