		<description>Hell sir,

   I want to copy table with same structure with different name in same database. I tried &quot;Select * into &#039;newtblname&#039; from &#039;totblname&#039; but this will not copy foreign key constraints.
Is there any other way to copy all structure.
 
Thanks</description>

		<description>@Prash: Thanks for the correction :) 

anyway, the works one for TOP syntax&#039;s example (tested on SQL 2008) is like this: 

SELECT TOP 100 * FROM TABLE


Note: &#039;*&#039; means all rows available in that table, you can specify certain rows as required.</description>

		<description>@Vipul : You mean &#039;get 100 rows from particular TABLE not record&#039; 

You can use the following syntax using TOP

Select TOP 100  from Table

TOP(100) might not work.

I also read recently in SQL 2008 books online that ROWCOUNT will not supported in the future versions of SQL Server. So please be careful when using it.

		<description>Regarding Vipul question, 

how about using TOP ? for example: 

SELECT TOP (100) FROM MY_TABLE ORDER BY COLUMN_A 

May this could help. 

Best regards, 


Beta  :)</description>

		<description>Moderator: Please ignore previous comment.

@Vipul

You need to use ROWCOUNT key word and set a value to this.

Below is a sample example.

/* This is original Table */
declare @table table (id int identity , ename varchar(10)) 

/* This is final table */
declare @finaltable table (id int , ename varchar(10)) 

declare @count int
set @count = 1

/* insert sample data of 20 records in original table */
while @count  5 

/* This is your final result */
select * from @finaltable 

/* This is how you limit no of rows to be effected */ — IMPORTANT
set rowcount 10
insert into @finaltable select * from @table where id &gt; 5

/* This is your final result */
select * from @finaltable 

Let us know if this does not helps.
