SQL Backup Table

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        |
