MySQL Server doesn't support the SELECT ... INTO TABLE Sybase SQL extension. Instead, MySQL Serversupports the INSERT INTO ... SELECT standard SQLsyntax, which is basically the same thing.    //官方文档说明

MySQL是不支持SELECT … INTO语法的，使用INSERT INTO … SELECT替代相同用法，以下是两种表复制方法
1、  表不存在复制

mysql>show tables;  
+-----------------+  
|Tables_in_test1 |  
+-----------------+  
|cpu_stat        |  
|test1           |  
|test2           |  
|test3           |  
+-----------------+  
4rows in set (0.02 sec)  
  
mysql> create tabletest4 as select *  from test1 where 1=0;   
//仅复制表结构  
QueryOK, 0 rows affected (0.06 sec)  
Records:0  Duplicates: 0  Warnings: 0  
  
mysql> create tabletest5 as select *  from test1;    
//把表test1所有内容复制为test5  
QueryOK, 7 rows affected (0.11 sec)  
Records:7  Duplicates: 0  Warnings: 0

2、  表已经存在复制

mysql> create table test6(id int not null auto_increment primary key, name varchar(20));  
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.13 sec)  
  
mysql> insert into test6(name)  select name from test1;  
//只复制name列  
Query OK, 7 rows affected (0.06 sec)  
Records: 7  Duplicates: 0  Warnings: 0  
  
mysql> select * from test6;  
+----+-------+  
| id | name  |  
+----+-------+  
|  1 | wu    |  
|  2 | terry |  
|  3 | tang  |  
……  
7 rows in set (0.00 sec)
