title: how can I ignore id column when importing into mySQL via phpMyAdmin?
body: <p>I need to export data from a table in database A, then import it into an identically-structured table in database B. This needs to be done via phpMyAdmin. Here's the problem: no matter what format I choose for the export (CSV or SQL) ALL columns (including the auto-incremented ID field) get exported. Because there's already data in the table in database B, I can't import the ID field with the new records - I need it to import the records and assign new auto-incremented values to the records. What settings do I need to use in either the export (to be able to choose which columns to export) or the import (to tell it to ignore the ID column in the file)? </p>
  
  <p>Or should I just export as CSV, then open in Excel and delete the ID column? Is there a way to tell phpMyAdmin that it should generate new auto-incremented IDs for the records being imported, without it telling me that there's an incorrect column count in the import file?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: to clarify, I'm exporting only data, not structure.</p>
