title: Is there an easy way to clone the structure of a table in Oracle?
body: <p>If I have a table like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>CREATE TABLE FRED
  (
  recordId number(18) primary key,
  firstName varchar2(50)
  );
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there an easy way to clone it's structure (not it's data) into another table of a given name. Basically I want to create table with exactly the same structure, but a different name, so that I can perform some functionality on it. I want to do this in code obviously. Java preferably, but most other languages should be similar.</p>
