以下示例为 EVENT 表创建名为 EVENT_BACKUP 的表：
create table event_backup as select * from event;生成的表继承 EVENT 表中的分配键和排序键。
select "column", type, encoding, distkey, sortkey
from pg_table_def where tablename = 'event_backup';
column | type | encoding | distkey | sortkey
----------+-----------------------------+----------+---------+--------
catid | smallint | none | false | 0
dateid | smallint | none | false | 1
eventid | integer | none | true | 0
eventname | character varying(200) | none | false | 0
starttime | timestamp without time zone | none | false | 0
venueid | smallint | none | false | 0以下命令通过选择 EVENT 表中的四个列来创建一个名为 EVENTDISTSORT 的新表。新表按 EVENTID 进行分配并按 EVENTID 和 DATEID 进行排序：
create table eventdistsort
distkey (1)
sortkey (1,3)
as
select eventid, venueid, dateid, eventname
from event;结果如下：
select "column", type, encoding, distkey, sortkey
from pg_table_def where tablename = 'eventdistsort';
column | type | encoding | distkey | sortkey
---------+------------------------+----------+---------+-------
eventid | integer | none | t | 1
venueid | smallint | none | f | 0
dateid | smallint | none | f | 2
eventname | character varying(200)| none | f | 0 可通过对分配键和排序键使用列名来创建完全相同的表。例如：
create table eventdistsort1
distkey (eventid)
sortkey (eventid, dateid)
as
select eventid, venueid, dateid, eventname
from event;以下语句对表应用 EVEN 分配，但不定义明确的排序键。
create table eventdisteven
diststyle even
as
select eventid, venueid, dateid, eventname
from event;该表不继承 EVENT 表 (EVENTID) 中的排序键，因为已为新表指定 EVEN 分配。新表没有排序键和分配键。
select "column", type, encoding, distkey, sortkey
from pg_table_def where tablename = 'eventdisteven';
column | type | encoding | distkey | sortkey
----------+------------------------+----------+---------+---------
eventid | integer | none | f | 0
venueid | smallint | none | f | 0
dateid | smallint | none | f | 0
eventname | character varying(200) | none | f | 0 以下语句应用 EVEN 分配并定义排序键：
create table eventdistevensort diststyle even sortkey (venueid)
as select eventid, venueid, dateid, eventname from event;生成的表具有排序键，但不具有分配键。
select "column", type, encoding, distkey, sortkey
from pg_table_def where tablename = 'eventdistevensort';
column | type | encoding | distkey | sortkey
----------+------------------------+----------+---------+-------
eventid | integer | none | f | 0
venueid | smallint | none | f | 1
dateid | smallint | none | f | 0
eventname | character varying(200) | none | f | 0 以下语句基于来自传入数据（基于 EVENTID 列进行排序）的其他键列重新分配 EVENT 表，但不定义 SORTKEY 列；因此，不会对表进行排序。
create table venuedistevent distkey(venueid)
as select * from event;结果如下：
select "column", type, encoding, distkey, sortkey
from pg_table_def where tablename = 'venuedistevent';
column | type | encoding | distkey | sortkey
----------+-----------------------------+----------+---------+-------
eventid | integer | none | f | 0
venueid | smallint | none | t | 0
catid | smallint | none | f | 0
dateid | smallint | none | f | 0
eventname | character varying(200) | none | f | 0
starttime | timestamp without time zone | none | f | 0
