Answer 1

Found here what I was looking for. Helped me recall what I used 3-4 years back.

I wanted to reuse the same syntax to be able to create table with data resulting from the join of a table.

Came up with below query after a few attempts.

SELECT a.*
INTO   DetailsArchive
FROM   (SELECT d.*
        FROM   details AS d
               INNER JOIN
               port AS p
               ON p.importid = d.importid
        WHERE  p.status = 2) AS a;

Try:

Select * Into <DestinationTableName> From <SourceTableName> Where 1 = 2

Note that this will not copy indexes, keys, etc.

If you want to copy the entire structure, you need to generate a Create Script of the table. You can use that script to create a new table with the same structure. You can then also dump the data into the new table if you need to.

If you are using Enterprise Manager, just right-click the table and select copy to generate a Create Script.
