SELECT 
INTO(7)							   SQL Commands 						    SELECT INTO(7)

NAME

       SELECT INTO - define a new table from the results of a query

SYNOPSIS

       [ WITH [ RECURSIVE ] with_query [, ...] ]
       SELECT [ ALL | DISTINCT [ ON ( expression [, ...] ) ] ]
	   * | expression [ [ AS ] output_name ] [, ...]
	   INTO [ TEMPORARY | TEMP ] [ TABLE ] new_table
	   [ FROM from_item [, ...] ]
	   [ WHERE condition ]
	   [ GROUP BY expression [, ...] ]
	   [ HAVING condition [, ...] ]
	   [ WINDOW window_name AS ( window_definition ) [, ...] ]
	   [ { UNION | INTERSECT | EXCEPT } [ ALL ] select ]
	   [ ORDER BY expression [ ASC | DESC | USING operator ] [ NULLS { FIRST | LAST } ] [, ...] ]
	   [ LIMIT { count | ALL } ]
	   [ OFFSET start [ ROW | ROWS ] ]
	   [ FETCH { FIRST | NEXT } [ count ] { ROW | ROWS } ONLY ]
	   [ FOR { UPDATE | SHARE } [ OF table_name [, ...] ] [ NOWAIT ] [...] ]

DESCRIPTION

       SELECT  INTO creates a new table and fills it with data computed by a query. The data is not returned to the client, as it is with a normal
       SELECT. The new table's columns have the names and data types associated with the output columns of the SELECT.

PARAMETERS

       TEMPORARY or TEMP
	      If specified, the table is created as a temporary table. Refer to CREATE TABLE [create_table(7)] for details.

       new_table
	      The name (optionally schema-qualified) of the table to be created.

       All other parameters are described in detail under SELECT [select(7)].

NOTES

       CREATE TABLE AS [create_table_as(7)] is functionally similar to SELECT INTO. CREATE TABLE AS is the recommended syntax, since this form	of
       SELECT INTO is not available in ECPG or PL/pgSQL, because they interpret the INTO clause differently. Furthermore, CREATE TABLE AS offers a
       superset of the functionality provided by SELECT INTO.

       Prior to PostgreSQL 8.1, the table created by SELECT INTO included OIDs by default. In PostgreSQL 8.1, this is not the case --  to  include
       OIDs  in  the  new table, the default_with_oids configuration variable must be enabled. Alternatively, CREATE TABLE AS can be used with the
       WITH OIDS clause.

EXAMPLES

       Create a new table films_recent consisting of only recent entries from the table films:

       SELECT * INTO films_recent FROM films WHERE date_prod >= '2002-01-01';

COMPATIBILITY

       The SQL standard uses SELECT INTO to represent selecting values into scalar variables of a host program, rather than creating a new  table.
       This  indeed is the usage found in ECPG (see in the documentation) and PL/pgSQL (see in the documentation).  The PostgreSQL usage of SELECT
       INTO to represent table creation is historical. It is best to use CREATE TABLE AS for this purpose in new code.
