There are two methods to duplicate a table in SQL Server.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. You can use the SELECT INTO statement to copy data from the original table to a new table, for example:<\/li>\n
  2. Translate the following statement from Chinese to English:
    \nSELECT * INTO new_table_name FROM original_table_name.<\/li>\n
  3. You can use the INSERT INTO statement to insert data from the original table into a new table, for example:<\/li>\n
  4. Add data from the original table into the new table with specific columns and values.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    It is important to note that when copying a table, it is essential to ensure that the structure of the new table is identical to the original table, including the data types, lengths, constraints, etc. Additionally, it is also necessary to ensure that constraints such as primary keys and indexes are correctly copied to the new table.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
