We have un-ordered data in a table that needs to be inserted into a
transaction table in
order of the date that the transaction took place.
Oracle does not allow "INSERT ..... AS SELECT ..... ORDER BY....."
or "CREATE TMP_TABLE ..... AS SELECT ..... ORDER BY......"
Is there a method by which I can accomplish this.
Thank you in advance
