Subject: create table as select cuestion

Hi there I am attempting to:



SQL> create table IE_DE4_DEMMA_BCK as select (*) from ATD_IE_DE4.DEMMA;

create table IE_DE4_DEMMA_BCK as select (*) from ATD_IE_DE4.DEMMA

*

ERROR at line 1:

ORA-00936: missing expression





Is this because there are no records in the DEMMA table?



SQL> select count (*) from ATD_NL_DE4.DEMMA;



COUNT(*)

----------

0





Thanks

Luis
