I am running this SQL query in MS Access:
CREATE TABLE EX_P_TEMP
AS (SELECT
EXPORT_POSTING_ID, IMPORT_POSTING_ID, DIS,
MILE_SAVED, IMPORT_AVAILABLE
FROM POTENTIAL_PAIRS);
Error:
Syntax error in CREATE TABLE statement.
Where did I go wrong?
That doesn't look like valid Access syntax. If you are trying to create a new table based on the results of a SELECT, try this intead:
SELECT EXPORT_POSTING_ID, IMPORT_POSTING_ID, DIS, MILE_SAVED, IMPORT_AVAILABLE
INTO EX_P_TEMP
FROM POTENTIAL_PAIRS;

MS Access: Syntax error in CREATE TABLE statement
(1 answer)
Closed 1 year ago.
I want to create a table with selected columns from an existing larger table The syntax below is what is recommended but ACCESS throws an error msg. What gives?
CREATE TABLE new_table_name AS
SELECT column1, column2
FROM existing_table_name
WHERE ....;
Every brand of SQL database can choose how complete its implementation of the SQL language is. MS Access in particular fails to support a lot of language features that are common in other brands of database.
You just have to verify the syntax you want to use is supported. You can do this by referring to the syntax documentation, for example: CREATE TABLE Statement. The syntax and description makes no mention of CREATE TABLE ... AS SELECT ...
But SELECT.INTO Statement shows that you can use the SELECT ... INTO newtable FROM ... form. The documentation says this will create newtable in the process.
MS Access doesn't have a "create table as select syntax". Instead, you can use the "select into" syntax:
SELECT column1, column2
INTO new_table_name
FROM existing_table_name
WHERE ...
In MS Access, I created a query by create Menu-> Query Design (with name Query3).
I want use it in an SQL command in another query but when I run it got this error:
Syntax error on query expression 'select f1'
SQL command
INSERT INTO boors (boors.Nemad, boors.Volumn, boors.Price,
boors.LastPrice, boors.LastPerc, boors.LastPr,
boors.LastPer, boors.MinPrice, boors.MaxPrice,
boors.distance, boors.inout, boors.Power)
values (select f1,f2,f3,f4,f5,f6,f7,f8,f9,f10,f11,f12 FROM Query3)
It appears that you are mixing the SQL used for inserting values and inserting from a table/query. As you are doing the latter, your SQL should look like:
INSERT INTO boors (Nemad, Volumn)
SELECT F1, F2
FROM Query3
Regards,
Can somebody help me?
I am try execute the command below in Oracle 11 and I get this error:
SQL Error [905] [42000]: ORA-00905: keyword not found.
Code:
SELECT *
INTO SAJ.ETMP_TESTE
FROM SAJ.ESAJOBJETO O
WHERE CDOBJETO = 'P800000000J03'
I read the Oracle docs and haven't found any obvious error in my statement.
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14261/selectinto_statement.htm
My objective is to create the table ETMP_TESTE with structure from ESAJOBJETO.
I checked user permission and user has permission to action.
You need create table and not select into for create a table based on the result of a query
CREATE TABLE SAJ.ETMP_TESTE
AS SELECT *
FROM SAJ.ESAJOBJETO O
WHERE CDOBJETO = 'P800000000J03'
This will create an empty table named ETMP_TESTE, with the structure of the SAJ.EASJOBJETO table.
CREATE TABLE ETMP_TESTE AS
SELECT *
FROM SAJ.EASJOBJETO
WHERE 1 = 0;
This does not handle contraints and primary keys and things like that, but it will get you the table structure. The 1 = 0 makes sure no data is copied.
If you need primary keys and the like, look into extracting the DDL for EASJOBJETO. Most SQL IDEs have that functionality built in. You can edit it to correct the table name and run the script and get everything.
I want to be able to create new tables based on any SQL select statement. I have tried the following which I got the format from another question and it does not work (there are similar questions but not one that I found actually works). I keep getting an error on the SQL statement.
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 2
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'AS'.
This is the CREATE TABLE statement:
CREATE TABLE MyNewTable
AS
SELECT *
FROM dbo.Bat
This will copy the entire table including rows
SELECT *
INTO newTableName
FROM dbo.Bat
Add WHERE 1 = 0 to copy just the table structure
If it is SQL Server (the dbo schema, default in SQL Server indicates it is SQL Server), you can do following.
select * into MyNewTable from dbo.Bat;
The SELECT INTO statement does not copy your table constraints.
You statement is a valid Oracle and MySQL statement though.
CREATE TABLE ... AS SELECT is simple (by deliberately ignoring for example the concepts of storage)
To create a table with all its lines
code:
CREATE TABLE XX AS SELECT * FROM YY ;
the result of command in mysql
I am trying to create a new table by copying an existing table in SQL Server 2008 using Management Studio. The existing table contains no data. I am using the following code but am receiving an error for Incorrect Syntax near AS. I am not sure what is wrong here. I am a SQL newb and any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
CREATE TABLE Drop_Centers_Detail
AS (Select * From Centers_Detail)
like this, however this will not create indexes and constraints
select * into Drop_Centers_Detail
from Centers_Detail
where 1 = 0
In Sql Server Managment Studio, right-click your existing table and select Script Table as > Create to > New Query Editor Window. This will give you a better starting script that you can use as the base for your new schema.
1) I would suggest generating a create script from the table you want to copy, and then run that on your destination database.
2) Write a Insert statement in another SQL Query window to import that data
Insert Into Database1.Table1(Field1, Field2)
Select Field1, Field2 From Database2.Table
