Creates a new table built from data retrieved by a SELECT.
CREATE TABLE table [ ( column [, ...] ) ] AS select
table
The name of the new table to be created.
column
The name of a column to create; you can specify multiple columns by including their
names in a comma-delimited list. There should be the same number of columns specified as
are returned by select
.
select
A valid SELECT
statement. The number of targets selected must
match the number of columns in the optional column list preceding the AS
clause.
Use the CREATE TABLE AS
command to create a table from the contents of
result set, such as a query on a table that already exists within the database. Both the
column types, and row data for the new table, come from the SELECT
command
specified by select
.
Note that, as of PostgreSQL 7.1.x, if you specify the optional column list within
parentheses, you cannot use the asterisk (*
) in the select
statement.
