Re: Create SQL table LIKE another table, and add a new column

I missed this thread last month. You almost had it right.

There are 2 ways to specify LIKE. Outside of the parentheses you can only
have a single table, nothing else, as you see by the syntax error. But if
you put LIKE inside the parentheses you can add extra clauses. In your
case, just add parentheses like this:

create table newtable
( like oldtable,
UniqueID BigInt GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY )

(This is based on a thread I started last week, "Add a unique key field

to view without redefining table".)

So, I'm attempting to create a new table by way of using LIKE:
create table newtable
like oldtable,
UniqueID BigInt GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY

It's not liking the comma, giving SQL0104:
Token , was not valid. Valid tokens: IN ON NOT DATA LONG OBID UNIT WITH

INDEX VALUE APPEND RCDFMT.
