Create new table from another table values

Create new table from another table values

Create new table from another table values

(OP)
Hi,
How can I select all or part of the data from a table, create a new table and insert all the selected data in it.

My query would look like Select * from table but how can I create a new table and insert those data in it.
Thanks for your help

RE: Create new table from another table values

What version of Pervasive are you using? What is your goal for this process? Rather than create a new table, you might want to consider a VIEW.
To answer the question, you can use the SELECT INTO syntax. For example:

CODE

SELECT t1.f1, t1.f2 INTO #mytmptbl FROM t1 WHERE f1 < 100
The statement above will create a temporary table called #mytmptbl and insert records that match the restriction (f1 < 100).

The same statement can be made into a VIEW and reused easier:

CODE

CREATE VIEW v1 as SELECT t1.f1, t1.f2 FROM t1 WHERE f1 < 100

and then used with:

CODE

SELECT * FROM v1

I am using Pervasive 11.

Since I am having problems converting with Access, the purpose is to create a new table with only part of the table. I can then use this new table, or give it to my helper to create some crystal report when I am too busy.

I just do not want them to connect directly to the master database.

RE: Create new table from another table values

Rather than create a new table, why not figure out why the queries aren't running properly. Creating a new table will only add to the complexity.

The syntax I posted will work in v11 however it will only create a new PSQL table. It won't create an Access table.

I will check the queries in Crystal report, but It would be nice if the query worked the same against Pervasive and Access.
