List the columns you want and omit the ones you don't wont. In the example
below I skip F4 (field 4):

CREATE TABLE myCopy AS (SELECT F1,F2,F3,F5....) WITH DEFINITION ONLY

Subject: Creating an SQL table with mixed reference and explicit column data
types.

I know how to create a an SQL table with 'create table as (select.........)
definition only, and how to create a table with explicit column data type
declarations, but I can't work out how to mix the two!

I want to be able to create a table with all the definitions from an
existing table except for one column.

Is this possible?
