Greetings,
I am trying to copy the table fields from one database into another without individually coping all 50 fields, their datatypes and nulls.

I tried both of these in query analyzer.

#1

CREATE TABLE dbo.FDL.MyAcct like dbo.DD1.MyAcct

and

#2

SELECT * INTO dbo.FDL.MyAcct from dbo.DD1.MyAcct where 0=1

None of these work. I get invalid object name errors. Can someone tell me what is the correct syntax for my request?

I greatly appreciate it ;-)

Ed

it should be


USE [FDL]

SELECT * INTO MyAcct from [DD1].dbo.MyAcct where 0=1

also they should be in same server
