Hello,

I keep getting an error whenever I try to copy only structure of the existing table to new one.

This my code.

Thanks for your help

What I have tried:

CREATE TABLE NewSalesTable AS
(SELECT *
FROM Sales);

Error Msg: Incorrect syntax error near '('. Expecting ID.

Yes I sew that, but they use the SELECT and when I try to use CREATE I get the Error Msg

You get the error message because the syntax you're using is not valid.

Use the syntax from the linked answer:

SELECT * INTO NewSalesTable FROM Sales WHERE 1 = 2
