Lec 38 SQL Practice

The document outlines two cases for copying data from an existing table to a new table in SQL. In Case 1, a new table is created with the same structure and records as the existing table, or only certain columns can be copied. In Case 2, if the new table structure already exists, data can be inserted into it from the existing table, either by copying all records or specific columns.
