LIKE (Table Cloning)

In the MySQL database, you can use the CREATE TABLE .. LIKE .. method to clone the old table structure to create a table. It is also supported by GaussDB(DWS). DSC will add additional table attribute information during migration.

    `dataType_1` YEAR,

    `dataType_3` YEAR DEFAULT '2018',
    `dataType_4` TIME DEFAULT NULL
);

CREATE TABLE `runoob_tbl` (like `runoob_tbl_old`);
