Insert value into specific column from another tab

问题:

I am using MySQL. I want to insert value's result from groupby of datetime to specific column (using where, maybe). Let say: I have two tables (a, b). In table a, I want to get how many total records during a hour (which I have datetime column), then the result will insert into table b, but in specific ID (there is already exist ID's value).

This is my error code:

INSERT INTO b(value)
WHERE ID=15
SELECT DAY COUNT(*)
FROM a
WHERE date >= '2015-09-19 00:00:00' AND date < '2015-09-19 00:59:59'
GROUP BY DAY(date),HOUR(date);";

Is that possible I make a query from this case? Thank you very much for any reply!

Schema

create table tA
(   id int auto_increment primary key,
    theDate datetime not null,
    -- other stuff
    key(theDate) -- make it snappy fast
);

create table tB
(   myId int primary key,   -- by definition PK is not null
    someCol int not null
);

-- truncate table tA;
-- truncate table tB;

insert tA(theDate) values
('2015-09-19'),
('2015-09-19 00:24:21'),
('2015-09-19 07:24:21'),
('2015-09-20 00:00:00');

insert tB(myId,someCol) values (15,-1); --    (-1) just for the heck of it
insert tB(myId,someCol) values (16,-1); --    (-1) just for the heck of it

The Query

update tB
set someCol=(select count(*) from tA where theDate between '2015-09-19 00:00:00' and '2015-09-19 00:59:59')
where tB.myId=15;

The Results

select * from tB;
+------+---------+
| myId | someCol |
+------+---------+
|   15 |       2 |
|   16 |      -1 |
+------+---------+

only myId=15 is touched.
