Greetings,
I have a simple question about SQL command :
create table tableName1 LIKE parentTable INCLUDING defaults ;
I was trying to create table "tableName1" with the same structure as
"parentTable" without any data. I got a syntax error: 'syntax error at
or near "like" ... '
I guess there must be something wrong with my sql command, could
somebody help?
Thanks a lot,
Emi
I've never used the "LIKE..INCLUDING" clause before so I can't comment on that,
but as an alternative, you could try a CTAS:
create table tableName1 as select * from parentTable where 1=0; (will not get
the rows, just the structure).
Cheers,
Bricklen
