Simple SQL insert

Hi there, i'm not that good with SQL scripts and any help would
be appreciated.

I have two tables with a field in each, containing string data,
I want to merge the data from these two fields, into a single
field within another table in the database, i know its probably
pretty simple and i'm being lazy asking you lot but i'm pretty
busy and havn't got time.

thanks for any help

Your description is not complete -- or the problem is not solvable. Essentially, you need to join your tables together. Since each contains a single text column, there does not seem room for a key - unless you left that information out. Repost showing the structure of both tables in their entirety, including key fields. If you are relying on the "order" of data in the database, it will depend on your dbms. If you have Oracle or have Sybase or MSSQL with a clustered index, your "order" is already lost (there may be a way to recover it in MSSQL if you have not clustered, but the level of effort required would be greater than reentering the data unless you have thousands of records).

Assuming your source tables are linked:

Table a = source one
Table b = source two
Table c = destination

you could use a query something like this. You will have to use convert if the fields are a number type.

insert into c
select a.id, a.source_one + ' ' + b.source two
from a inner join b on a.id = b.id
