That should work. One of the few situations where SELECT * in production 
code could be defended.

Unfortunately, it will not work if the table has an identity column, a
timestamp column or a computed colunm.

I have also experienced performance problems with using SELECT INTO in a 
trigger which was written to handle multi-row inserts, but the transaction 
at hand was a loop that did things one-by-one. I found by testing that 
SELECT INTO was more expensive that using CREATE TABLE #temp, which in its
turn was more expensive than table variables. Then again, this was on SQL
2000, and it is possible that the temp-table caching in later versions 
alleviates the problem. I haven't come around to test that.
