http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/create-table.html
under MySQL 5.0 you can do this:
CREATE TABLE mynewtable LIKE theotherone;
-- this will copy the structure as well as add idexes identical to
the plan in the original
under any earlier 4.x version, this will work too
CREATE TABLE mynewtab
Hi Everyone
Is there a way of replicating or cloning the structure of an existing table and
giving it a different name? I have a table of items on sale in the shops, I
want to create a table of items not yet in the shops but due to be introduced
very soon.
MySQL 5.0.37 Windows XP.
Thanks in a
