The SELECT INTO statement copies data from one table into a new table
The SELECT INTO
statement copies data from one table into a new table.
SELECT INTO Syntax
Copy all columns into a new table:
SELECT *
INTO newtable [IN externaldb]
FROM oldtable
WHERE condition;
Copy only some columns into a new table:
SELECT column1, column2, column3, ...
INTO newtable [IN externaldb]
FROM oldtable
WHERE condition;
The new table will be created with the column-names and types as defined in the old table.
You can create new column names using the AS
clause.
The following SQL statement creates a backup copy of Customers:
SELECT * INTO CustomersBackup2017
FROM Customers;
The following SQL statement uses the IN
clause to copy the table into a new
table in another database:
SELECT *
INTO CustomersBackup2017 IN 'Backup.mdb'
FROM Customers;
The following SQL statement copies only a few columns into a new table:
SELECT CustomerName, ContactName INTO CustomersBackup2017
FROM Customers;
The following SQL statement copies only the German customers into a new table:
SELECT *
INTO CustomersGermany
FROM Customers
WHERE Country = 'Germany';
The following SQL statement copies data from more than one table into a new table:
SELECT Customers.CustomerName, Orders.OrderID
INTO CustomersOrderBackup2017
FROM Customers
LEFT JOIN Orders
ON Customers.CustomerID = Orders.CustomerID;
SELECT INTO
can also be used to create a
new, empty table using the schema of another. Just add a
WHERE
clause that
causes the query to return no data:
SELECT * INTO newtable
FROM oldtable
WHERE 1 = 0;
