Thanks for the quick reply, Tom. I appreciate that. I've looked at this, and it seems to be on the same level as a quick DROP/CREATE. Is there no way to "mirror" a table structure in real time? CREATE TABLE test_bob AS ( SELECT * FROM bob WHERE '1' = '2' ); .. appears to also do what I want, but I'd like to be able to do this without DROP/CREATE (just because I'm anal, no other real reason). :) Thoughts?
