SQL COPY TABLE

If you want to copy the data of one SQL table into another SQL table in the same SQL server, then it is
possible by using the SELECT INTO statement in SQL.

The SELECT INTO statement in Structured Query Language copies the content from one existing table
into the new table. SQL creates the new table by using the structure of the existing table.

Syntax of SELECT INTO statement in SQL

SELECT * INTO New_table_name FROM old_table_name;

Examples of SELECT INTO statement in SQL

In this article, we have taken the following three different SQL examples which will help you how to
copy the content of one table into another table in SQL:

Example 1: In this example, we have a table called Cars with three columns:

Car Name Car Color Car Cost

Hyundai Creta White 10,85,000

Hyundai Venue White 9,50,000

 Hyundai i20 Red 9,00,000

Kia Sonet White 10,00,000

Kia Seltos Black 8,00,000

Swift Dezire Red 7,95,000

Table: Cars

Suppose you want to copy the content of the above Car table into the new table Car_Details. For
this, you have to type the following query in SQL:

SELECT * INTO Car_Details FROM Cars;

Let's check the Car_Details table is created successfully or not in the database:

SELECT * FROM Car_Details;

Car Name Car Color Car Cost

Hyundai Creta White 10,85,000

Hyundai Venue White 9,50,000

Hyundai i20 Red 9,00,000

Kia Sonet White 10,00,000

Kia Seltos Black 8,00,000

 Swift Dezire Red 7,95,000

Table: Car_Details

Example 2: In this example, we have a table called Employee with four columns:

Emp_Id Emp_Name Emp_Salary Emp_City

201 Abhay 25000 Goa

202 Ankit 45000 Delhi

203 Bheem 30000 Goa

204 Ram 29000 Goa

205 Sumit 40000 Delhi

Suppose you want to copy the record of the above Employee table into the new table
Coding_Employees. For this, you have to type the following query in SQL:

SELECT * INTO Coding_Employees FROM Employee;

Let's check the Coding_Employees table is created successfully or not in the database:

SELECT * FROM Coding_Employees;

Emp_Id Emp_Name Emp_Salary Emp_City

201 Abhay 25000 Goa

202 Ankit 45000 Delhi

203 Bheem 30000 Goa

204 Ram 29000 Goa

205 Sumit 40000 Delhi

Table: Coding_Employees

Example 3: In this example, we have a table called Student with four columns:
 RollNo Name Marks Age

1001 Bhanu 88 17

1002 Raman 82 16

1003 Sumit 80 16

1004 Shobhit 95 15

1005 Akash 85 16

Table: Student

Suppose you want to copy the record of the above Student table into the new table
Class_12_Students. For this, you have to type the following query in SQL:

SELECT * INTO Class_12_Students FROM Student;

Let's check the table is Class_12_Students table created successfully or not in the database:

SELECT * FROM Class_12_Students;

RollNo Name Marks Age

1001 Bhanu 88 17

1002 Raman 82 16

1003 Sumit 80 16
 1004 Shobhit 95 15

1005 Akash 85 16

Table: Class_12_Students

Example 4: In this example, we have a table called Cars with three columns:

Car Name Car Color Car Cost

Hyundai Creta White 10,85,000

Hyundai Venue White 9,50,000

Hyundai i20 Red 9,00,000

Kia Sonet White 10,00,000

Kia Seltos Black 8,00,000

Swift Dezire Red 7,95,000

Table: Cars

Suppose you want to copy Car_Color and Car_Name columns of the above Cars table into the
new table Car_Color. For this, you have to type the following query in SQL:

SELECT Car_Name, Car_Color INTO Car_Color FROM Cars;

Let's check the Car_Color table is created successfully or not in the database:

SELECT * FROM Car_Color;

Car Name Car Color

Hyundai Creta White

Hyundai Venue White

Hyundai i20 Red

Kia Sonet White

Kia Seltos Black

 Swift Dezire Red

Table: Car_Color

Syntax of SELECT INTO statement with WHERE clause in SQL

SELECT * INTO New_table_name FROM old_table_name WHERE [ condition ] ;

Examples of SELECT INTO statement with WHERE clause in SQL

Here, we have taken the following three different SQL examples, which will help you how to copy the
content of one table into another table with a specific condition in SQL:

Example 1: In this example, we have a table called Cars with three columns:

Car Name Car Color Car Cost

Hyundai Creta Black 10,85,000

Hyundai Venue Black 9,50,000

Hyundai i20 Red 9,00,000

Kia Sonet White 10,00,000

Kia Seltos Black 8,00,000

Swift Dezire Red 7,95,000

Table: Cars
 Suppose we want to copy only the record of those cars whose color is black. For this, we have to
type the following query in SQL:

SELECT * INTO Black_Car_Details FROM Cars WHERE Car_Color = 'Black';

Let's check the Black_Car_Details table is created successfully or not in the database:

SELECT * FROM Black_Car_Details;

Car Name Car Color Car Cost

Hyundai Creta Black 10,85,000

Hyundai Venue Black 9,50,000

Kia Seltos Black 8,00,000

Table: Black_Car_Details

Example 2: In this example, we have a table called Employee with four columns:

Emp_Id Emp_Name Emp_Salary Emp_City

201 Abhay 45000 Goa

202 Ankit 45000 Delhi

203 Bheem 38000 Goa

204 Ram 49000 Goa

205 Sumit 40000 Delhi

Table: Employee
 Suppose we want to copy only the record of those employees whose Salary is more than 40,000.
For this, we have to type the following query in SQL:

SELECT * INTO Emp_Salary_40000 FROM Cars WHERE Emp_Salary > 40000;

Let's check the Emp_Salary_40000 table created successfully or not in the database:

SELECT * FROM Emp_Salary_40000;

Emp_Id Emp_Name Emp_Salary Emp_City

201 Abhay 45000 Goa

202 Ankit 45000 Delhi

204 Ram 49000 Goa

Table: Emp_Salary_40000
