Create table (structure) from existing table_问答_开发者

How to create new table which structure should be same as another table

I tried

CREATE TABLE dom AS SELECT * FROM dom1 WHERE 开发者_运维百科1=2

but its not working error occurred

Try:

Select * Into <DestinationTableName> From <SourceTableName> Where 1 = 2

Note that this will not copy indexes, keys, etc.

If you want to copy the entire structure, you need to generate a Create Script of the table. You can use that script to create a new table with the same structure. You can then also dump the data into the new table if you need to.

If you are using Enterprise Manager, just right-click the table and select copy to generate a Create Script.

This is what I use to clone a table structure (columns only)...

SELECT TOP 0 *
INTO NewTable
FROM TableStructureIWishToClone

Copy structure only (copy all the columns)

Select Top 0 * into NewTable from OldTable

Copy structure only (copy some columns)

Select Top 0 Col1,Col2,Col3,Col4,Col5 into NewTable from OldTable

Copy structure with data

Select * into NewTable from OldTable

If you already have a table with same structure and you just want to copy data then use this

Insert into NewTable Select * from OldTable

FOR MYSQL:

You can use:

CREATE TABLE foo LIKE bar;

Documentation here.

Create table abc select * from def limit 0;

This will definite work

Its probably also worth mentioning that you can do the following:

Right click the table you want to duplicate > Script Table As > Create To > New Query Editor Window

Then, where is says the name of the table you just right clicked in the script that has been generated, change the name to what ever you want your new table to be called and click Execute

I use the following stored proc for copying a table's schema, including PK, indexes, partition status. It's not very swift, but seems to do the job. I I welcome any ideas how to speed it up:

    /*
        Clones a table's schema from an existing table (without data)
        if target table exists, it will be dropped first.
        The following schema elements are cloned:
            * Structure
            * Primary key
            * Indexes
            * Constraints
    DOES NOT copy:
        * Triggers
        * File groups

    ASSUMPTION: constraints are uniquely named with the table name, so that we dont end up with duplicate constraint names

try this.. the below one copy the entire structure of the existing table but not the data.

create table AT_QUOTE_CART as select * from QUOTE_CART where 0=1 ;

if you want to copy the data then use the below one:

create table AT_QUOTE_CART as select * from QUOTE_CART ;

If you Want to copy Same DataBase

Select * INTO NewTableName from OldTableName

If Another DataBase

Select * INTO NewTableName from DatabaseName.OldTableName

SELECT * 
INTO NewTable
FROM OldTable
WHERE 1 = 2

I don't know why you want to do that, but try:

SELECT *
INTO NewTable
FROM OldTable
WHERE 1 = 2

It should work.

Copy the table structure:-
select * into newtable from oldtable where 1=2;

Copy the table structure along with table data:-
select * into newtable from oldtable where 1=1;

SELECT * INTO newtable
from Oldtable

Found here what I was looking for. Helped me recall what I used 3-4 years back.

I wanted to reuse the same syntax to be able to create table with data resulting from the join of a table.

Came up with below query after a few attempts.

SELECT a.*
INTO   DetailsArchive
FROM   (SELECT d.*
        FROM   details AS d
               INNER JOIN
               port AS p
               ON p.importid = d.importid
        WHERE  p.status = 2) AS a;

According to How to Clone Tables in SQL, it is:

CREATE TABLE copyTable LIKE originalTable;

That works for just the sructure. For the structure and the data use this:

CREATE TABLE new_table LIKE original_table;
INSERT INTO new_table SELECT * FROM original_table;

If you want to create a table with the only structure to be copied from the original table then you can use the following command to do that.

create table <tablename> as select * from <sourcetablename> where 1>2;

By this false condition you can leave the records and copy the structure.

I needed to copy a table from one database another database. For anyone using a GUI like Sequel Ace you can right click table and click 'copy create table syntax' and run that query (you can edit the query, e.g. change table name, remove foreign keys, add/remove columns if desired)
