Hi,

Lets say I have a table with 50 columns and I would like to create an empty temp table with the same column names without typing each column name manually.
How can I do it ?

Thanks!

SELECT TOP 0 * INTO #NewTable FROM YourCurrentTable

Is there a possibility to use it with the following command?
Declare @Totals TABLE (***all column names***)

Also please keep in mind that @ tables are table variables and not temp tables
