Hi
    If you have constraints enabled (primary, unique and referential), then
CTAS approach needs reenabling them in the new table. This will take
longer. But alter table does not need to disable or enable the constraints
and hence alter table move would be more preferable..

HI:

Can anyone the pros and cons of using  the CTAS approach to reorganizing a
table as compared to the alter table move command

Oracle 8.1.5  tables size roughly 8gb

Thanks
