ZC-1.5.5e, PHP 5.6.32, Database patch level 1.5.5

I have the older admin notes database 'notes'. I only have 8 records.
The field structure of 'notes' and 'notes_categories' seem to be equal.
I have access to the C-Panel phpmyadmin.
What would be the best way to effectuate the transfer.

ie. export records from 'notes' and then import into 'notes_categories' ?

Any help would be appreciated
