Re: Create SQL table LIKE another table, and add a new column

Hi Sue,

Very nice. I'd not noticed that syntax ability. We'll get some mileage out
of that for sure.

We'll see huge benefit from PARSE_STATEMENT() once we're on V7R3.

/e-hugs to you and your entire team!

Tyvm,

Mike

I missed this thread last month. You almost had it right.

There are 2 ways to specify LIKE. Outside of the parentheses you can only
have a single table, nothing else, as you see by the syntax error. But if
you put LIKE inside the parentheses you can add extra clauses. In your
case, just add parentheses like this:

create table newtable
( like oldtable,
UniqueID BigInt GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY )
