Use SQL CREATE TABLE AS statement to create a table from an existing table by copying the existing table’s columns. Show
What happens to the METADATA and DATA when creating a table by copying from existing table? Data (full/partial/no data) gets copied as mentioned in the where clause of the select statement. All columns & data in the existing table gets copied to the new table for the below statement. Selected columns & data in the existing table gets copied to the new table for the below statement. Selected columns & data from multiple existing tables gets copied to the new table for the below statement. And Below statement is used to create table without DATA. The above statement creates a new table by copying all columns and not null constraint from existing table.

The information in this article explains how to create and run a make table query in Access. You use a make table query when you need to copy the data in a table, archive data, or perhaps save query results as a table. If you need to change or update part of the data in an existing set of records, such as one or more fields, you can use an update query. For more information about update queries, see the article Create and run an update query. If you need to add records (rows) to an existing table, you use an append query. For more information about append queries, see the article Add records to a table by using an append query. What do you want to do?Understand make table queriesA make table query retrieves data from one or more tables, and then loads the result set into a new table. That new table can reside in the database that you have open, or you can create it in another database. Typically, you create make table queries when you need to copy or archive data. For example, suppose you have a table (or tables) of past sales data, and you use that data in reports. The sales figures cannot change because the transactions are at least one day old, and constantly running a query to retrieve the data can take time — especially if you run a complex query against a large data store. Loading the data into a separate table and using that table as a data source can reduce workload and provide a convenient data archive. As you proceed, remember that the data in your new table is strictly a snapshot; it has no relationship or connection to its source table or tables. The process of creating a make table query follows these broad steps:
Do not confuse a make table query with an update or append query. You use an update query when you need to add or change data in individual fields. You use an append query when you need to add records (rows) to an existing set of records in an existing table. Create a make table queryYou create a make table query by first creating a select query, and then converting it to a make table query. Your select query can use calculated fields and expressions to help return the data that you need. The following steps explain how to create and convert the query. If you already have a select query that fits your needs, you can skip ahead to the steps for converting the select query and running the make table query. Create the select queryNote: If you already have a select query that produces the data that you need, go to the next steps.
Convert the select query
Learn more about query criteria and expressionsThe steps in this article mentioned query criteria and expressions. A query criterion is a rule that identifies the records that you want to include in a query, and you use criteria when you do not want to see all the records in a given set of data. For example, the criterion >25 AND <50 returns values greater than 25 and less than 50. A criterion such as "Chicago" OR "Paris" OR "Moscow" returns only the records for those cities. For more information about using criteria, see the article Examples of query criteria. An expression is a combination of mathematical or logical operators, constants, functions, and names of fields, controls, and properties that evaluates to a single value. You use an expression when you need data that does not reside directly in a table. For example, the expression [UnitPrice]*[Quantity] multiplies the value in the UnitPrice field by the value in the Quantity field. You can use expressions in a wide variety of ways, and the process of creating and using them can become quite complex. For more information about creating and using expressions, see the article Build an expression. Stop Disabled mode from blocking a queryBy default, if you open a database that isn't saved in a trusted location, or if you haven't chosen to trust the database, Access prevents all action queries — append, update, delete, or make-table queries — from running. If you try to run an action query and it seems like nothing happens, check the Access status bar for the following message: How do you create a table from an existing table in SQL?If you would like to create a new table based on the structure and data from another table, you can use the SELECT INTO clause.
