Help with the copy table queries

    Hi there to you all!

    Today one of mine SuperModerator deleted more than 10,000 of its posts. The problem is that I do not have a recent backup but I have a backup of 4th October this year.
    So I've been told to do this:

    "Copy the post and thread tables from the old backup, add them to the database as post2 and thread2 tables for example.

    Then you need a query to copy the entire post from the post2 table to the post table where the postid exists in the post2 table but not in the regular post table.
    Repeat for the thread / thread 2 table.
    Then clear the cache, rebuild the forum and thread counters.
    That should work"

    But I do not know how to perform these queries.
    Would someone be kind enough to write them and save me, please.

    Hi,

    I don't know the table structure, but assuming that you can scope what to insert it could be as simple as :
    INSERT INTO post select * from post2 where....
    INSERT INTO Thread select * from Thread2 where...

    If Post and Thread are empty, forget the where clause. If not, you will need to scope the select because you will have duplicates entries
