You can't create and populate a partitioned table in one command; you have
to create some partitions before you can load data into it.
I believe you could use CREATE TABLE temp_table (LIKE original_table)
PARTITION BY LIST(attribute_name) to avoid manually repeating the
column list. Check the docs to see which other LIKE options you want
to use.
