    How to move data from one table to other table

    Hello All,

    I do have one large table, say "emp" having 80 columns. now as the requirement changes, i have to partition the "emp" table to 8 tables.


    I want all of my existing data ["emp" table data] to be there in my new tables . i don't want to delete the existing data from "emp" table.

    Cal any one please help me out to resolve this issue.

    Thanks

    so... what's the problem?

    any reason why you can't use either "create table as" or "insert into select from"?

    Thanks for reply.

    Mine Original table has 80 columns and sub tables has 10 columns each.

    I want to insert data according to that columns only from "emp" tables.

    will "insert into select from" work for this type of scnario or not?


    Thanks

    In regards to splitting your 80 columns table into ten 10 columns each tables... what kind of business requirement is asking for such a thing?

    In regards to "insert into select from"... what do you think? have you even bothered to check the syntax?
