A copy of an existing table can also be created using CREATE TABLE.
The new table gets the same column definitions. All columns or specific columns can be selected.
If you create a new table using an existing table, the new table will be filled with the existing values from the old table.
Syntax
CREATE TABLE new_table_name AS
SELECT column1, column2,...
FROM existing_table_name
WHERE ....;
SELECT column1, column2,...
FROM existing_table_name
WHERE ....;
The following SQL creates a new table called "TestTables" (which is a copy of the "Customers" table):
Example
CREATE TABLE TestTable AS
SELECT customername, contactname
FROM customers;
SELECT customername, contactname
FROM customers;
