I'm not aware of any way to do this directly. If it helps, though:

<WARNING: blatant plug>
"iHOC Query" (http://www.ihocquery.com) is scheduled to launch on Nov 1st,
and one of its many capabilities is to create "Dump Files" from SQL select
statement results. You could easily use this to create the appropriate
"Create Table" statement, and then (still using iHOC) issue the statement to
create the table. For more info on iHOC, either visit the address above or
e-mail me offline.
