Join two tables into a new one

Question

I have two tables that I would like to save as one. They are related by a key (id).
I've tried this:
- Created empty table_new with the same columns as table1 and table2.
- Then:
SELECT *
INTO table_new
FROM table1
LEFT OUTER JOIN table2
ON table1.id = table2.id;
I get the error "Missing keyword".
If I do just a SELECT with LEFT OUTER JOIN, the result shows exactely what I want to store in the table. But how can I store it?
Any other idea, how to solve the problem is welcome too. Attaching the columns of table2 to table1 would also be a solution.
