I have a read only Database that I want to copy a couple of Tables out of and into a Test Database that I have full control over.

The kicker is that the table structure "may" change, so I will not really know if it changes because that is done by someone else.

So is there a way to copy a table from a Different database into my own Database as the same structure and data?

Databases are on the same Server.

Thank You.

I have not tried this, but should I use:
SELECT LastName,FirstName INTO Persons_backup
FROM Persons . . .?

What works, but you have to create keys and indexes manually.
