PRB: SQL-SELECT INTO TABLE Creates Free Table Not DB Table

Last reviewed: October 31, 1995

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 3.0

SYMPTOMS

When using the SQL-SELECT statement with the INTO TABLE <table_name> clause to query and place data into a new table, Visual FoxPro will create a new, free table even if a database is currently open.

RESOLUTION

You can keep the table as a free table, or you can append the records from the SQL-SELECT result free table into a database-contained table of the same structure.

STATUS

This behavior is by design. There is no automatic way for the SQL-SELECT statement's INTO clause to create a table that is automatically added to a database.
