在MySQL数据库中，关于表的克隆有多种方式，比如我们可以使用create table ..as .. ，也可以使用create table .. like ..方式。然而这2种不同的方式还是有些差异的，他的差异到底在哪里呢，本文通过演示对此展开描述。
1、mysql sakila表上的结构
--actor表状态
robin@localhost[sakila]> show table status like 'actor'\G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
Name: actor
Engine: InnoDB
Version: 10
Row_format: Compact
Rows: 200
Avg_row_length: 81
Data_length: 16384
Max_data_length: 0
Index_length: 16384
Data_free: 0
Auto_increment: 201
Create_time: 2014-12-25 13:08:25
Update_time: NULL
Check_time: NULL
Collation: utf8_general_ci
Checksum: NULL
Create_options:
Comment:
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
--actor表索引
robin@localhost[sakila]> show index from actor\G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
Table: actor
Non_unique: 0
Key_name: PRIMARY
Seq_in_index: 1
Column_name: actor_id
Collation: A
Cardinality: 200
Sub_part: NULL
Packed: NULL
Null:
Index_type: BTREE
Comment:
Index_comment:
*************************** 2. row ***************************
Table: actor
Non_unique: 1
Key_name: idx_actor_last_name
Seq_in_index: 1
Column_name: last_name
Collation: A
Cardinality: 200
Sub_part: NULL
Packed: NULL
Null:
Index_type: BTREE
Comment:
Index_comment:
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
--actor表结构
robin@localhost[sakila]> desc actor;
+-------------+----------------------+------+-----+-------------------+-----------------------------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+-------------+----------------------+------+-----+-------------------+-----------------------------+
| actor_id | smallint(5) unsigned | NO | PRI | NULL | auto_increment |
| first_name | varchar(45) | NO | | NULL | |
| last_name | varchar(45) | NO | MUL | NULL | |
| last_update | timestamp | NO | | CURRENT_TIMESTAMP | on update CURRENT_TIMESTAMP |
+-------------+----------------------+------+-----+-------------------+-----------------------------+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
2、使用create table as方式克隆表
robin@localhost[sakila]> create table actor_as as select * from actor;
Query OK, 200 rows affected (0.06 sec)
Records: 200 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0
robin@localhost[sakila]> desc actor_as;
+-------------+----------------------+------+-----+-------------------+-----------------------------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+-------------+----------------------+------+-----+-------------------+-----------------------------+
| actor_id | smallint(5) unsigned | NO | | 0 | |
| first_name | varchar(45) | NO | | NULL | |
| last_name | varchar(45) | NO | | NULL | |
| last_update | timestamp | NO | | CURRENT_TIMESTAMP | on update CURRENT_TIMESTAMP |
+-------------+----------------------+------+-----+-------------------+-----------------------------+
--从上面的结果可以看出新表缺少了key信息，以及自增列属性 auto_increment
