That's correct. You successfully created the table (you didn't get an error message did you?) and neither wrote any records to nor changed any records on the new table: "Query OK, 0 rows affected ..."
This format is more useful when you use the compound form of "CREATE TABLE" that allows you to populate it as you create it. (read: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/CREATE_TABLE.html) CREATE TABLE tmpTest SELECT * From spamdata; Assuming you have the correct rights and that there are 876 rows of data in spamdata, you should see: "Query OK, 876 rows affected..."
