TRIGGER AFTER UPDATE - copy to another table

Question

I would like to create a TRIGGER AFTER UPDATE which copy the row that has just been updated in TABLE_1 to the TABLE_2.

This code raise an error after updated more than one row : SQL Error (1062): Duplicate entry '1' for key 'PRIMARY'

I know this code is not right but I just don't know how to manipulate the row that has been updated.

CREATE DEFINER=`companyERP`@`%` TRIGGER `trigger` AFTER INSERT ON `Table_1`
FOR EACH ROW BEGIN
INSERT INTO Table_2 SELECT *
FROM Table_1;
END

Thank you in advance for you help.

The problem here is that you have copied the same structure for table_1 to table_2 including the primary key. Table_2's primary key needs to be a separate column not available in table_1. — Adish, Oct 30 '15 at 17:20
