How do we copy product attributes to multiple product IDs using MYSQL script?

[limelites]

Hello,

One of our girls has been listing new products to our website but she has forgotten to include an attribute drop down menu for tartan choice selection. The listings should look like this one::

https://www.silkblooms.co.uk/Gorgeou...ttonhole-12268 (you see the tartan selection drop menu).

There are several hundred products on the site, like this::

https://www.silkblooms.co.uk/Scottis...-Heather-15409 (missing the drop menu).

I know you can copy attributes from product to another using the admin feature under attributes controller. However, we need an SQP script that will copy the tartn drop down attributes from one product to a list of product ID's, seperated by commas.

Can anyone help with such a script?

Not sure if this is any help but, I regularly add attributes to multiple products in phpmyadmin. Perhaps you could insert new attributes rather than copy existing.

I use:

INSERT INTO `products_attributes`(`products_id`, `options_id`, `options_values_id`, `options_values_price`,`products_options_sort_order`, `product_attribute_is_free`,`attributes_discounted`) SELECT products_id,'32','162','8.49','4000','0','0' FROM `products`
WHERE `products_model` LIKE '123456'
AND `master_categories_id`
IN (
1462,1465,1414,1470,1473,1468,1464,1463,1469,1466,1387,1386,1370,1389,1373,1396,1392,1391,1376,1393,1377,1398,1385,1374,1371,1390,1375,1372,1320,1384,1395,1394,1397,1361,1416,1378,1421,1354,1380,1457,1400,1417,1422,1379,1418,1363,1792,1381,1399,1419,1312,1420,1423,1424,1427,1426,1428,1415,1401,1403,1450,1333,1405,1402,1407,1410,1412,1409,1408,1413,1325,1538,1458,1429,1330,1309,1425,1327,1328,1334,1329,1369,1332,1337,1336,1326,1331,1324,1323,1313,1311,1310,1314,1338,1319,1315,1322,1321,1316,1318,1317,1339,1356,1358,1355,1357,1353,1359,1362,1365,1366,1367,1360,1340,1349,1341,1346,1345,1350,1343,1347,1348,1511,1507,1505,1503,1491,1504,1508,1516,1506,1513,1514,1517,1485,1490,1411,1368,1352,1510,1489,1515,1351,1492,1509,1493,1502,1501,1499,1467,1494,1519,1498,1495,1497,1518,1496,1512,1500,1520,1541,1548,1546,1536,1539,1534,1537,1540,1544,1542,1547,1545,1521,1522,1523,1525,1526,1364,1342,1476,1483,1448,1453,1527,1449,1524,1530,1447,1532,1446,1535,1528,1451,1486,1335,1406,1344,1533,1543,1529,1452,1488,1455,1531,1382,1454,1439,1444,1440,1430,1432,1445,1431,1435,1437,1434,1436,1433,1456,1438,1442,1441,1461,1471,1472,1443,1459,1460,1481,1475,1477,1480,1478,1479,1482,1404,1484,1487,1474);

this adds attributes to multiple products with the same model number in a number of categories, but I wonder if omitting the model number and substituting master_categories_id for products_id would work, like:

INSERT INTO `products_attributes`(`products_id`, `options_id`, `options_values_id`, `options_values_price`,`products_options_sort_order`, `product_attribute_is_free`,`attributes_discounted`) SELECT products_id,'32','162','8.49','4000','0','0' FROM `products`
WHERE `products_id'
IN (
1462,1465,1414,1470,1473,1468,1464,1463,1469,1466,1387,1386,1370,1389,1373,1396,1392,1391,1376,1393,1377,1398,1385,1374,1371,1390,1375,1372,1320,1384,1395,1394,1397,1361,1416,1378,1421,1354,1380,1457,1400,1417,1422,1379,1418,1363,1792,1381,1399,1419,1312,1420,1423,1424,1427,1426,1428,1415,1401,1403,1450,1333,1405,1402,1407,1410,1412,1409,1408,1413,1325,1538,1458,1429,1330,1309,1425,1327,1328,1334,1329,1369,1332,1337,1336,1326,1331,1324,1323,1313,1311,1310,1314,1338,1319,1315,1322,1321,1316,1318,1317,1339,1356,1358,1355,1357,1353,1359,1362,1365,1366,1367,1360,1340,1349,1341,1346,1345,1350,1343,1347,1348,1511,1507,1505,1503,1491,1504,1508,1516,1506,1513,1514,1517,1485,1490,1411,1368,1352,1510,1489,1515,1351,1492,1509,1493,1502,1501,1499,1467,1494,1519,1498,1495,1497,1518,1496,1512,1500,1520,1541,1548,1546,1536,1539,1534,1537,1540,1544,1542,1547,1545,1521,1522,1523,1525,1526,1364,1342,1476,1483,1448,1453,1527,1449,1524,1530,1447,1532,1446,1535,1528,1451,1486,1335,1406,1344,1533,1543,1529,1452,1488,1455,1531,1382,1454,1439,1444,1440,1430,1432,1445,1431,1435,1437,1434,1436,1433,1456,1438,1442,1441,1461,1471,1472,1443,1459,1460,1481,1475,1477,1480,1478,1479,1482,1404,1484,1487,1474);

the comma separated values in the latter would obviously be product ids and you wouldn't need to add all the attributes I did.
