Author copy a table

Hello all!

How to copy a table in MS SQL Server 2000 without chaning a structure? I
mean, I have one table, which has autoincrement numeric field (ID). When
I copy this table by exporting this table into the same database folder
I loose the specification of the field ID. Now it is not autoincrement
field but usual int field. Is it possible to copy this table without
changing data and structure of a table?

Kindest regards
Thank you
Marcin from Poland

With DTS copy object might do the trick. Otherwise, create DDL with QA or
EM, create the new table and then copy the data with "SET IDENTITY_INSERT
your_table ON". HTH

select columns from othertable
