Create table … like feature

You learn by example how to create an empty table based on another table.

From Hive or Impala, you can create an Iceberg table schema based on another table. The table contains no data. The table properties of the original table are carried over to the new table definition. The following examples show how to use this feature:

CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE target LIKE source STORED BY ICEBERG;

CREATE TABLE target LIKE source STORED BY ICEBERG;
