Create Table Statement
is it possible to copy a table (300.000 rows) into another table without the
rows
for example:
CREATE TABLE tab1AS SELECT * from tab2
WHERE 1<0
The goal is to duplicate a tabel with all columns but without any row

Here is a shell script:
### BEGin script clone_table.sh
if [ $# -ne 3 ]; then
echo Usage: clone_table database existing_table new_tablename
exit 1
fi
Database=$1
TemplateTable=$2
ResultTable=$3
dbschema -d $Database -t $TemplateTable | awk "
/create table/{print \\"create table \\$ResultTable\\"; next}
{print $0'}" | dbaccess $Database -
### EOScript ###

Can anybody check is it possible to implement with a couple of
ALTER FRAGMENT statements? Sorry, I'm unable to test it myself
right now.
Well, I know restrictions for alter fragment and you should have
dbspaces ready to play, but it's just interesting. Especially
when you trying to detach empty fragment?
Thanks

Only temporary table:
SELECT *
FROM tab2
WHERE 1<0
INTO TEMP tab1
