今天有人問我用什麼方法可以建立空表?
在MYSQL中有兩種方法。
1、create table select …
2、create table like …
第一種很多人都知道,第二種卻很少人用。
第一種有個缺點:
取消掉原來表的有些定義。

手冊上是這麼講的:
Some
conversion of data types might occur. For example, the AUTO_INCREMENT
attribute is not preserved, and VARCHAR columns can become CHAR
columns.

不過我測試過,只會取消自增屬性!(可能是版本不同吧。其他版本沒有測試過!)

第二種就不會。
我們來看看例子:
mysql> create table t_old (id serial, content varchar(8000) not null,`desc` varchar(100) not null) engine innodb;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)

mysql> show create table t_old;

Table | Create
Table                                                                                                                                                                                                
|
+——-+————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–+
| t_old | CREATE TABLE `t_old` (
  `id` bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `content` varchar(8000) NOT NULL,
  `desc` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
  UNIQUE KEY `id` (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 |
+——-+————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> create table t_select select * from t_old where 1 = 0;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)
Records: 0  Duplicates: 0  Warnings: 0

PS:如果想要保持一樣的引擎,就加上。
這樣寫:create table t_select engine innodb select * from t_old where 1 = 0;
mysql> show create table t_select;
