You can do "SELECT * INTO newtbl FROM tbl WHERE 1 = 0". Beware though that constraints, indexes and triggers are not copied. If you want that you are better off scripting the table, which you can do by right-clicking the table in the Object Broswer in Query Analyzer. Even better, have all your source code under version control. Then copying is even easier. -- Erland Sommarskog, SQL Server MVP, esquel@sommarskog.se Books Online for SQL Server 2005 at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/pro...ads/books.mspx Books Online for SQL Server 2000 at http://www.microsoft.com/sql/prodinf...ons/books.mspx |

Also note that in most cases where you would want to copy a table's design within the same database, you'd probably be better off doing more normalization instead. |
