Do, however, note that this does not copy the index-structure, nor attributes like auto_increment. You can use CREATE TABLE table_copy LIKE table_original Or if you want the whole create statement just to store can use mysqldump from outside the client or use SHOW CREATE TALE table_original -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
