    Code:
    create table a2 as select * from a1;
    Is it what you want?

    export your table first, rename table to table_old, import table back, rename imported table to table_new, rename table_old to table.
    One, who thinks that the other one who thinks that know and does not know, does not know either!

    Wondering why someone would want to do this.
    and not 'create table as select'.
