How do I copy or clone or duplicate the data, structure, and indices of a MySQL table to a new one?
This is what I've found so far.
This will copy the data and the structure, but not the indices:

create table {new_table} like {old_table};
To copy with indexes and triggers do these 2 queries:
CREATE TABLE newtable LIKE oldtable;
INSERT INTO newtable SELECT * FROM oldtable;
To copy just structure and data use this one:
CREATE TABLE tbl_new AS SELECT * FROM tbl_old;
I've asked this before:
