basic MySQL question

edited August 2006 in Vanilla 1.0 Help
It's been a good year or two since I've done anything at all in MySQL and I don't remember a lot. So here's my question: is there an easy way, record by record, to take the value of one column and assign it to another? I've got a few thousand records that have valid DateCreated data but nothing but zeroes under DateLastActive. I'd like to just assign DateLastActive to take on whatever the value is of DateCreated, on a row-by-row basis.

    This may work (not tested)

    UPDATE LUM_User SET DateLastActive = DateCreated WHERE DateLastActive = 0;

    I should have clarified... I figured that would be the way to do it, but I want to make sure that the rows will maintain their individual integrity.

    Confirmed now, though, and it works. Just had a momentary flash of stupidity where I felt like everything would fall apart. Of course that's the way it works. Sorry!
