Solution 1

I'd simply do -

SQL

select * into my_new_table from my_old_table where 1=2

Another way -

SQL

create my_new_table as select * from my_old_table where 1 = 2

Solution 2

In Oracle you execute dbms_metadata.get_ddl with the right switches.

For SqlServer use the Management Studio. Use the
context menu for the node for the relevant database.
