I have 31 separate tables (actually I have 365, but lets keep this simple) in a MySQL database, each containing data for a given day. The tables are (badly) named based on the day.
Example:
island01Aug07
island02Aug07
island03Aug07
island04Aug07
...
island31Aug07
I would like to combine all the tables into one master table:
island_08
It would be simple to use INSERT INTO but my problem is that the tables do not have a column to denote the day. It would have to be added into the destination table, and then I would need to populate that when moving/copying the tables over.
Suggestions, advice and solutions welcome.
