Create table in MySQL that matches another table?

Question

I am using MySQL. I have a table called EMP, and now I need create one more table (EMP_TWO) with same schema, same columns, and same constraints. How can I do this?

Answer 1

If you want to copy only Structure then use

create table new_tbl like old_tbl;

If you want to copy Structure as well as data then use

create table new_tbl select * from old_tbl;
