query

Hello,

I have been looking for a while now but I can not find an easy solution for my problem. I would like to duplicate a record in a table, but of course, the unique primary key needs to be updated.

I have this query:

INSERT INTO invoices SELECT * FROM invoices AS iv WHERE iv.ID=XXXXX ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE ID = (SELECT MAX(ID)+1 FROM invoices)

the proble mis that this just changes the ID of the row instead of copying the row. Does anybody know how to fix this ?

Thank you verrry much, Digits

//edit: I would like to do this without typing all the field names because the field names can change over time.
