Thread: Save query results to new table

It's been several years since I worked with postgres so I tried searching
the web for the correct syntax to save query results to a new table, but
without results.

   I'm running postgresql-9.5.4 here. The query extracts 28162 rows from a
table of 122365 rows. I thought 'save table as' would do the job but have
not found the correct syntax to do this.

   My query is:

select * from monitor_sites where param = 'Cd' or param = 'Co' or param = 'As' or param = 'Hg' or param = 'Zn' or param
='Pb' or param = 'Cr' or 
param = 'Cu';

   If you point me to the appropriate page in the 9.5.x manual I'll figure it
out.

TIA,

Rich
