Answer 1

If you want to create a table with the only structure to be copied from the original table then you can use the following command to do that.

create table <tablename> as select * from <sourcetablename> where 1>2;

By this false condition you can leave the records and copy the structure.

Answer 2

Copy the table structure:-
select * into newtable from oldtable where 1=2;

Copy the table structure along with table data:-
select * into newtable from oldtable where 1=1;

Then, where is says the name of the table you just right clicked in the script that has been generated, change the name to what ever you want your new table to be called and click Execute
