SELECT INTO in MySQL
Use the CREATE TABLE SELECT syntax.
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/create-table-select.html
CREATE TABLE new_tbl SELECT * FROM orig_tbl;
In MySQL, It should be like this
INSERT INTO this_table_archive (col1, col2, ..., coln)
SELECT col1, col2, ..., coln
FROM this_table
WHERE entry_date < '2011-01-01 00:00:00';
