    Hi guys, I am trying to create a new table from an existing table and I am using the code below but I cannot get it to work

    Any ideas?  

    thanks in advance 


    USE [WorkLSC]
    GO

    CREATE TABLE [DBO.T_NEWTABLE]
    AS (SELECT *
        FROM [WorkLSC].[dbo].[vw_OLDTABLE)

    GO

    Try this

    SELECT * INTO [DBO].[T_NEWTABLE]
    FROM [WorkLSC].[dbo].[vw_OLDTABLE)

    Hi I used 

    select* 
    into new_table
    from old_table 

    But received this warning :

    Warning: Null value is eliminated by an aggregate or other SET operation.

    Is there anything I should worry about?

    thanks again

    Try:
    USE [WorkLSC];
    GO
    SELECT *
    INTO [DBO.T_NEWTABLE]
    FROM [WorkLSC].[dbo].[vw_OLDTABLE];
    GO

    Note, however, it is terrible practice naming a table with the prefix "DBO.". I would suggest naming it something else.

    You can use select into
    😎

    SELECT
    *
    INTO dbo.NEWTABLE
    FROM  [WorkLSC].[dbo].[vw_OLDTABLE;

    I'm going to guess that what you're selecting from is not a table, but a view (based on the prefix "vw_", and the error wouldn't occur on a simple SELECT * on a table). This message is letting you know that the values NULL in your aggregate function, which is in your view definition, are being ignored (not used in the aggregate calculation),.
