How do I merge two tables in MySQL and where table 1 is primary

问题

How do I merge two tables in MySQL? I've looked at several other posts on this topic but they don't go into enough detail for me.

I'm a novice MySQL user, so bear with me I have a primary table and a temp table that look like this:

CREATE TABLE temp_import ( id int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
Name varchar(255) default NULL,
MerchantID int(11) default NULL,
SKU varchar(255) default NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (id) ) ENGINE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=765811 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

I'm inserting data into the temp table like this:

LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE \'29762.txt\' REPLACE INTO TABLE temp_import FIELDS TERMINATED BY \'|\' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY \'"\' LINES TERMINATED BY \'\n\' (Name, MerchantID, SKU);

The table format of each table is the same, but the data changes over time. Some items the data chances but the SKU remains constant. Some items will no longer be offered and need to be removed from the database.

example:

Current Database Table:

1, dog, 101, dog101
2, cat, 101, cat101
3, chicken, 102, chicken100
4, chicken food, 102, chicken101

New Database Table:

1, dog, 101, dog101
2, cat, 102, cat101
3, chicken, 102, chicken100
5, Frog, 103, frog101

Final Result Should be

1, dog, 101, dog101
2, cat, 102, cat101
3, chicken, 102, chicken100
5, Frog, 103, frog101

Deleted chickenfood, added Frog, updated cat.

Also this needs to be as efficient as possible. I'll be working with some huge files. And it can be MySQL only code.

回答1:

Make the SKU the primary key instead. From there you can just do an INSERT ... SELECT ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE query.

Not sure this will fit your needs, but it seem you may need a view for your data.

A database View is known as a "virtual table" which allows you to query the data in it.

You can find some excellent information on views right here. I hope that helps, views are very powerful and worth looking into when you need a different presentation of your data.

I thought I would post what I eventually used for this. It's probably not the "BEST" way, and dropping the column is completely optional.

ALTER TABLE `temp_import`
ADD `deleteme` tinyint NOT NULL
DEFAULT 0; -- If you haven't already added a deleteme column 


UPDATE `temp_import` SET  `deleteme` = 1; -- Set the delete field 

LOAD DATA LOW_PRIORITY LOCAL INFILE "import.csv" REPLACE INTO TABLE `temp_import`  FIELDS TERMINATED BY "," OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY """" LINES TERMINATED BY "\n"  IGNORE 1 LINES (`id`, `name`, `m_id`, `sku`);

DELETE FROM `temp_import` WHERE  `deleteme` = 1;

ALTER TABLE `tests` DROP COLUMN `deleteme` -- Optional
