title: Sybase: How can I use "Select into" statement if I am not sure if the table always have rows or not
body: <p>I need to use the <code>select into</code> statement:</p>
  
  <p><strong>Query</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>Select * into table2 from table1
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This statement works perfectly if I have rows in the table1. However, in my case sometimes I might have rows in table1 while other times I don't.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas of how to deal with such a case please? My DB is <code>Sybase</code></p>
