select into a table with different column names

Question

In SQL, Select into ... copies rows into a different (backup) table. Is this possible if the backup table has different structure (or different column names)? If no

Answer 1

The column names do not matter at all, as long the data types match.

If the data types of the columns don't match, try casting the values accordingly. Just try with small dummy tables. Be sure to list the target columns explicitly to avoid confusion. Like this:

INSERT INTO TableB (b1, b2, b3)
SELECT a1, a2, a3
FROM   TableA
WHERE <some condition>;
