U can use the limit keyword in mysql

select * from tablename limit 100

Can somebody plz tell me how to copy a table partially (selected fields) to a new/existing table’s corresponding fields! I’m supposed to do it using mysql(only, not using any programming language.)

thanks and regards.

HI to all, i agree with all the above possibilities to copy the table, with data, and structure, but all the above queries wont copy the key constraints ( relations). Is there any query that copy index, key fields in mysql

Thanx, it definitely works.
However, I tried to do this on a 15 million record table,
The INSERT INTO statement, being a logged operation, combined with the possibility for the existence of indexes, possibly even clustered ones, makes this an all around inapplicable solution.
Can you think of any alternative.
