You can do "SELECT * INTO newtbl FROM tbl WHERE 1 = 0". Beware though
that constraints, indexes and triggers are not copied. If you want that
you are better off scripting the table, which you can do by right-clicking
the table in the Object Broswer in Query Analyzer. Even better, have all
your source code under version control. Then copying is even easier.
