I am trying to rectify a previous database creation with tables that contains data that needs to be saved. Instead of recreating a completely new database since some of the tables are still reusable, I need to split a table that exists into 2 new tables which I have done. Now I am trying to insert the data into the 2 new tables and because of duplicate data in the old table I am having a hard time doing this.
Old table structure:
ClientProjects clientId PK
clientName
clientProj
hashkey MD5 (clientname and clientProj)
new table structures:
client clientId PK
clientName
projects queryId PK
clientId PK
projectName
I hope this makes sense. The problem is that in the old table for example you have clients with multiple clientIds.
