Duplicating a TABLE using Microsoft SQL Server Management

Need to duplicate a TABLE using Microsoft SQL Management Studio 2008

The TABLE 开发者_如何学Cneeds to duplicate all table row (Primary Key) ID as well.


In SSMS open a new query window and then do something like

SELECT * INTO NewTable
FROM OldTable

change NewTable to the name that the new table should have, change OldTable to the name of the current table

this will copy over the basic table structure and all the data...it will NOT do any of the constraints, you need to script those out and change the names in those scripts


An easy way to copy a table and all of it's data:

SELECT * INTO 
    [DATABASE_NAME].[SCHEMA_NAME].[NEW_TABLE_NAME] 
FROM 
    [DATABASE_NAME].[SCHEMA_NAME].[OLD_TABLE_NAME]

The SCHEMA_NAME is often dbo


To duplicate a table and the data rows in the table, right-click on the database that contains the table you want to duplicate, then click 'Tasks' then 'Import Data...". See the screenshot below for visual representation. Then, follow the instructions in the "SQL Server Import and Export Wizard." Select the table to be duplicated as the 'source' and write in a made-up table name of your choice for the 'destination'. When finished on the last screen (see screenshot below), click 'Next', then 'Finish' and the Wizard will show you the progress of the data transfer until complete.

One way to copy the table structure (including default values) but NOT the actual table values is the copy / paste solution that is documented here. It works for Management Studio 2005 upwards. You just have to select all columns in the design then Edit -> Copy. Create a new table and the Edit -> Paste.
