Re: Creating an SQL table with mixed reference and explicit column datatypes.

I know how to create a an SQL table with 'create table as
(select.........)
definition only, and how to create a table with explicit column
data type declarations, but I can't work out how to mix the two!
I want to be able to create a table with all the definitions
from an existing table except for one column.
Is this possible?


Eftimios -
Use the create table as (select.........) to create the table, then use
ALTER Table to DROP the column you don't need.
