I do not quite sure is this what you want?
1. if newtable(one you want save) does not exist:
select * into newtable from oldtable;
or
create table newtable as select * from oldtable;
2. if newtable existed, you append some record into it:
insert into newtable select * from oldtable where clause;

Hi all,is there a handy way to copy or (preferrably) move a whole record
from one table to another, equally structured table in the same DB?Background: I have some tables which hold information concerning our
staff, where people quite so often come and go, because their
employment contract is limited to a year or two. When deleting a
person in the DB, I don't want to lose this information completely,
but I want to save it in a backup table.I suppose this is a newbie question, maybe I am stirring me blind
somewhere ...Greetings and thanks,
