I want to create a new table in SQL Server with the following query. I am unable to understand why this query doesn't work.

Query1: Works

SELECT * FROM TABLE1
UNION
SELECT * FROM TABLE2

Query2: Does not Work. Error: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 7 Line 7: Incorrect syntax near ')'.

SELECT * INTO [NEW_TABLE]
FROM
(
SELECT * FROM TABLE1
UNION
SELECT * FROM TABLE2
)

Thanks!

SELECT val1, val2
FROM TABLE2

Here's one working syntax for SQL Server 2017:

USE [<yourdb-name>]
GO

SELECT * INTO NEWTABLE 
FROM <table1-name>
UNION ALL
SELECT * FROM <table2-name>
