Hello,

I have some users setup in a MySQL table with different variables. I am trying to figure out what would be the best way to do this. Basically I want to award all of my registered and active users with bids which are stored in another table.

So for the Table "users" I have ran this query:

SELECT * FROM users WHERE active = 1 AND admin = 0 ORDER BY users.id ASC

Which will show all active users who are not administrators.

Now I would like to give each one of these users which are identified by the "ID" field in another table.

So in the "bids" table I would need to add a new row for each one of those users with all of the same values except for the "user_id" field which will basically match the "id" field of the table "users"

What would be the best approach for this. There are approximately 6,000+ users coming up in the first query.

Please be gentle as I am not a programmer. Just need some friendly advice.
