How to Create MySQL Table from Existing

A new table can be created based on an existing table by using the CREATE TABLE SELECT statement. This syntax will copy the data structure and data from the existing table to the new table.

For example, if there is a table named old_table and you want to create a new table named new_table by copying the structure and data from old_table, you can use the following statement:

CREATE TABLE new_table SELECT * FROM old_table;

This will create a new table, new_table, and copy the structure and data from old_table. The SELECT statement can be modified as needed to only copy certain fields or filter the data based on specific conditions.
