Quite easy. See example.

CREATE TABLE tbl1 (col1 int)

INSERT INTO tbl1 VALUES (1)
INSERT INTO tbl1 VALUES (2)
INSERT INTO tbl1 VALUES (3)
INSERT INTO tbl1 VALUES (4)
INSERT INTO tbl1 VALUES (5)
INSERT INTO tbl1 VALUES (6)

CREATE TABLE tbl2 (col1 int)

INSERT INTO tbl2 SELECT * FROM tbl1

SELECT * FROM tbl2

Without seeing the table schemas, this is just a guess, but something like this should work

Insert into table2
select * from table1

That will work if the columns in the two tables are the same. If not, you will need to specify the column in the insert and the select

or are you trying create a new table with values from oldtable, then use

SELECT * INTO NewTable FROM OldTable

Hi Vidya,

Suppose you have a table named emp with data.
If you want to create a table with name employee with same structure as emp and you want to copy the emp data to employee table, then try the following single query to do this entire job:

select * into employee from emp
