Tom,

I think one way to do it is to use the copyTable() command for the
parent table and then you might be able to:

  insert into <new table> select * from...

Or you could use DML before you establish the query to do a copy
structure with production to <new table>. This way the table is ready
for the insert command. There are limitations to the insert command,
but I've had it work fine for many situations.
