Sure there is, you just had to keep reading. Quote: In MySQL 4.1, you can also use LIKE to create a table based on the definition of another table, including any column attributes and indexes the original table has: CREATE TABLE new_tbl LIKE orig_tbl; CREATE TABLE ... LIKE does not copy any DATA DIRECTORY or INDEX DIRECTORY table options that were specified for the original table. Since this is a PHP list, an alternative, two-step method is to issue a SHOW CREATE TABLE Table_Name query, retrieve the results, and use them to create your second table (replacing the table name, of course). ---John Holmes... -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
