I'm looking for a way to create a temporary table containing a sub part of the master table... I know that I can use : CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE tbl_name [(create_definition,...)] [select_statement] but i'm working on a script that must create tables with the same "create_definition" that the master table (and the script must be independent from the "create_definition", I cannot Hardcode it in the CREATE TABLE statement)... For now, the only way i finded to do this is to copy the files associated to the master table to another tablename and, after that, i'm deleting all the rows that I don't need from the newly created table : It is not very efficient :-) I'll be glad if someone could tell me a "SQL" way to solve this tricky problem... /<><><><><><><><><><><> Jonathan Pelletier <><><><><><><><><><><><>\ \ / / Matrox Electronic Systems Ltd. \ \ MIS / Département des systèmes -- Groupe Unix / / \ \ 1055 Blv.
