Applies to ✅ Open Source Edition ✅ Express Edition ✅ Professional Edition ✅ Enterprise Edition
Occasionally, creating a table from a SELECT statement is very useful, copying the source table's data types and data.
// Create a new table from a source SELECT statement
create.createTable("book_archive")
.as(select(BOOK.ID, BOOK.TITLE).from(BOOK))
.execute();
