have two tables in my MySQL DB. I will be inserting into Table1. Information will be retreived in Table2.

Table 2 contains a couple of million records. My insert query should look for all users who has a previous event in Table2 and insert it into Table1.

This is my insert query - but it's killing my server.

INSERT INTO Table1(
SELECT
d.created,
d.userID,
d.eventID,
d.previousEvent
FROM (
SELECT
e.created,
e.userID,
e.eventID,
(SELECT eventID FROM TABLE2 pe WHERE e.userID=pe.userID AND e.created>pe.created ORDER BY pe.created DESC LIMIT 1) AS e.previousEvent
FROM
TABLE2 e
WHERE
e.eventID not in (Select f.EventID from TABLE1 f)
ORDER BY
e.created desc
) d
WHERE
d.preEvent is not null
GROUP by
d.eventID,
d.created,
d.userID
);
eg:

Table1:

created | userID | eventID(unique) | previousEvent
2015-11-15 66666 1045698664 4566660001
Table2:

created | userID | eventID(unique - random)
2015-11-15 55555 4755500001
2015-11-15 66666 4566660001
2015-11-15 77777 8634757777
2015-11-15 88888 1845562565
