Create a new table in SQL based on two other tables

Question

I have two tables against which I would like to create new table with the output.

For example;

Table 1

Column 1    Column 2    Column 3
a               b          c

Table 2

Column 4    Column5     Column6
D              E           F

I've joined above tables with an "Union". Not sure how to create a new table from the original query itself

Any help would be appreciated

Answer 1

for creating a new table, use INTO statement that provide a new table. it should be place in the first select

SELECT column1,
       column2,
       column3
INTO   newtable --creating new table
FROM   table1
UNION
SELECT column4,
       column5,
       column6
FROM   table2  

If you have created a New Table, then use INSERT INTO Statement

INSERT INTO newtable
            (column1,
             column2,
             column3)
SELECT column1,
       column2,
       column3
FROM   table1
UNION
SELECT column4,
       column5,
       column6
FROM   table2
