It sounds like it should be easy but I can't see any reasonable way of doing it. How do you make a copy of a table in an sqlite3 database?
I can copy the database, that's trivial, but I want to duplicate a *table* within a database and that seems distinctly un-trivial.
INSERT INTO newtable SELECT * FROM oldtable;
assuming newtable and oldtable share the same schema?
I need to CREATE newtable first to be able to do that. Is there a similarly easy way to create newtable with the same schema as oldtable?
CREATE TABLE newtable AS SELECT * FROM oldtable;
