Easy 'create table from view' syntax in mysql?

Question

I want to create a table that\'s a cache of results from a view. Is there an easy way to automatically define the table from the view\'s definition, or will I have to cobble it

Answer 1

I also found that in the mysqldump output, there are statements that create the view as a table, just before it defines the view. I can parse those out and run them as queries.
