The Select Statement is used to create backup copies of tables.
Understand with Example
The Tutorial illustrate a example from SQL Backup Table. In this Example, we create a table 'Stu_Table'. The create table statement create a table 'Stu_Table'.
Create Table Stu_Table
Create Table Stu_Table( Stu_Id int, Stu_Name varchar(15),Stu_Class()); |
Insert Data Into Stu_Table
The insert into add the records or rows to the table 'Stu_Table'.
insert into stu_table values(1, 'Komal',10); insert into stu_table values(2, 'Ajay',10); insert into stu_table values(3, 'Santosh',10); insert into stu_table values(4, 'Rakesh',10); insert into stu_table values(5, 'Bhau',10); insert into stu_table values(1, 'aaa',11); insert into stu_table values(2, 'bbb',11); insert into stu_table values(3, 'ccc',11); insert into stu_table values(4, 'ddd',11); insert into stu_table values(5, 'eee',11); insert into stu_table values(1, 'iii',12); insert into stu_table values(2, 'jjj',12); insert into stu_table values(3, 'kkk',12); insert into stu_table values(4, 'lll',12); insert into stu_table values(5, 'mmm',12); |
Stu_Table
+--------+----------+-----------+ | Stu_Id | Stu_Name | Stu_Class | +--------+----------+-----------+ | 1 | Komal | 10 | | 2 | Ajay | 10 | | 3 | Santosh | 10 | | 4 | Rakesh | 10 | | 5 | Bhau | 10 | | 1 | aaa | 11 | | 2 | bbb | 11 | | 3 | ccc | 11 | | 4 | ddd | 11 | | 5 | eee | 11 | | 1 | iii | 12 | | 2 | jjj | 12 | | 3 | kkk | 12 | | 4 | lll | 12 | | 5 | mmm | 12 | +--------+----------+-----------+ |
Backup Query
The Backup Query create a exact back up copy of table 'stu_table'. The create table construct a table 'stu_table_backup' and copies the exact data of table 'stu_table'. The SELECT INTO statement is most often used to create backup copies of tables
create table stu_table_backup( select * from stu_table); |
Stu_Table_Backup
+--------+----------+-----------+ | Stu_Id | Stu_Name | Stu_Class | +--------+----------+-----------+ | 1 | Komal | 10 | | 2 | Ajay | 10 | | 3 | Santosh | 10 | | 4 | Rakesh | 10 | | 5 | Bhau | 10 | | 1 | aaa | 11 | | 2 | bbb | 11 | | 3 | ccc | 11 | | 4 | ddd | 11 | | 5 | eee | 11 | | 1 | iii | 12 | | 2 | jjj | 12 | | 3 | kkk | 12 | | 4 | lll | 12 | | 5 | mmm | 12 | +--------+----------+-----------+ |
