Hello.

If tableA and tableB have the same columns but in differrent order

Is there a way to get

INSERT INTO tableA SELECT * FROM tableB LIMIT 1;

to work, that is, get the value in column X to be placed in the
corresponding column in tableA without listing all the columns?

Create a view on the source table with columns listed in the necessary
order and use the view?

Regards,
Jayadevan
