Refresh Table from View

Convert SQL View into table for speed reading.
Using views a lot, I needed a quick way to convert that view into table to speed things up if we need that since view sometimes can be complicated. This is it.

Original Work
-- AI generated version
-- Here is a possible code for creating a stored procedure that will delete the table tblView and then create it from the view vwView.

CREATE PROCEDURE spCreateTableFromView
AS
BEGIN
-- Check if the table exists
IF OBJECT_ID('tblView', 'U') IS NOT NULL
BEGIN
    -- Delete the table
    DROP TABLE tblView;
END

-- Create the table from the view
SELECT *
INTO tblView
FROM vwView;
END





-- Another version that CLEARS table, not drops it. Expects we know all columns of table and view
CREATE PROCEDURE MoveRowsFromViewToTable
AS
BEGIN
    Delete From table -- Where 1 = 1
    Go
    INSERT INTO table_name (column_list)
    SELECT column_list FROM view_name
    -- WHERE condition;
END
EXECUTE MoveRowsFromViewToTable
