How to create new table using pertioned table

Question

hi,
i am using a partitioned table , now i want to craet a new table with same structure of my existing partitioned table.
so can i use this syntax
create table abc_new as
select * from my_partitioned_table
where 1=2;
if i use this syntax would it make same structure of my existing partitioned table ?
and
when
we use syntax like
create table abc_new as
select * from my_partitioned_table
where 1=2;
so would it make also indexing on new table to if old table exists ? if not so how can we create that indexing too at time of running this syntax ?

No.
Although the command would create a new table with the same column names and datatypes, it would NOT be a partitioned table. You must explicitly specify the PARTITION BY clause and Partition definitions when creating the table.
Similarly, index definitions are not copied automatically. You must explicitly run the CREATE INDEX statements (which you can generate from the source using DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL or using any other tools/utilities).
(However, if you use Export-Import -- e.g. importing to another schema or to another database, it would create a partitoned table with the same name and with the same index definitions).
