El modelo actual de base de datos

Almacenar solo datos de DISTINCT en las nuevas tablas.

SELECT COUNT(*)

INSERT DISTINCT registros INTO las nuevas tablas

INSERT INTO organizations 
SELECT DISTINCT organization, 
    organization_sector
FROM university_professors;

Output: INSERT 0 1287

INSERT INTO organizations 
SELECT organization, 
    organization_sector
FROM university_professors;
