Hi, Postgres create table statement supports `LIKE source_table [like_option... ]` to specify `a table from which the new table automatically copies all column names, their data types, and their not-null constraints.` according to documentation [1].
I am wondering if a similar clause would make sense to copy relation wide settings. For example consider a relation created like this: `CREATE TABLE source_table ([column, ...]) USING customam WITH (storage_parameter1 = value1, ... )` Maybe a statement similar to: `CREATE TABLE target LIKE source_table` which should be equivalent to: `CREATE TABLE target (LIKE source_table INCLUDING ALL) USING customam WITH (storage_parameter1 = value1, ...)` can be usefull as a syntactic shortcut. Maybe the usefulness of such sortcut becomes a bit more apparent if one considers that custom access methods can offer a diversity of storage parameters that interact both at relation and column level, especially when the source relation is column oriented. If the possibility for such a statment is not discarded, a patch can be readily provided. Cheers, //Georgios [1] https://www.postgresql.org/docs/13/sql-createtable.html
