copy of existing table and data

Hello,
SELECT * INTO NEW_TABLE FROM OLD_TABLE
THis will copy the table structure and data into NEW_TABLE. You may need to
craete the Indexes manually to NEW_TABLE.
Thanks

As well as indexes Primary Keys, Foreign Keys, CHECK constraints are not
transferred, but Identities are!!! E.g
CREATE TABLE MyMaster ( id int not null identity constraint PK_MyMaster
PRIMARY KEY,
Value int not null )
CREATE TABLE Mydetail (
id int not null identity constraint PK_Mydetail PRIMARY KEY,
master_id int not null constraint FK_MyMaster FOREIGN KEY REFERENCES
MyMaster ( id ),
Value int not null CONSTRAINT CK_value CHECK ( value > 10 ))
INSERT INTO MyMaster ( value )
SELECT 1
UNION ALL SELECT 2
UNION ALL SELECT 3
UNION ALL SELECT 4
INSERT INTO Mydetail ( Master_id, value )
SELECT 1, 100
UNION ALL SELECT 2, 20
UNION ALL SELECT 3, 30
UNION ALL SELECT 4, 40
UNION ALL SELECT 4, 400
SELECT * INTO MyOtherMaster FROM MyMaster
EXEC sp_help MyMaster
EXEC sp_help MyOtherMaster
SELECT * INTO MyOtherDetail FROM MyDetail
EXEC sp_help MyDetail
EXEC sp_help MyOtherDetail
