CREATE TABLE COPY

Grammar syntax

CREATE [ OR REPLACE ] TABLE [ IF NOT EXISTS ] table_name
COPY source_table_name
...
[OPTIONS(table_option_list)]

Sample Source Patterns

General case

CREATE TABLE CLONE in Snowflake is functionally equivalent to CREATE TABLE COPY.

Input Code

BigQuery

IN -> BigQuery_01.sql

CREATE TABLE newtable
COPY sourceTable;

Output Code:

Snowflake

OUT -> BigQuery_01.sql

CREATE TABLE newtable CLONE sourceTable;

Note

The LABELS option in CREATE TABLE COPY statements are not transformed into TAGs because the TAGs of the source table are copied, they cannot be changed during the copy of the table.

Transformation of other table options are the same as specified for the CREATE TABLE statement.
