Is there a way to clone a table in a database without writing scripts with 'CREATE TABLE ...' as there are too many columns in that table. I need to clone the structure of a table in order to archive data but writing scripts to create that archive table is not efficient.Don't want to create a clone via Designer view either.Any ideas? |

TrySELECT * INTO CloneTable FROM OriginalTable WHERE 0=1 This will ONLY create the structure. Any PK/FK/Indexes etc have to be added manually.Dinakar Nethi************************Life is short. Enjoy it.************************http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/dinakar/ |
