"alter table daily_total exchange partition jun_02 with table dt_temp including indexes" gives me the error: * ERROR at line 1: ORA-14097: column type or size mismatch in ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE PARTITION Unless I get the column types to match exectly - I can't ask for a change in table design to remove the awkward formatting until I've at least tried to get the format to work in the 'Create Table...As Select..'
