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
