Reorganizing columns in an Index Organized Table

Hi All,

I am in the process of reorganizing an IOT columns so the active columns (which has been added later) can be grouped together and non active (future enhancement) columns can be kept in the overflow section of the IOT.

Environment:

RDBMS: Oracle 10.1.0.4 Standard Edition
OS : RHEL ES 4 This is what I am doing:

1. Create a new Index Organized Table
2. Insert into <NEWIOT> Select (column1...column80) from the <OLDIOT>
3. Drop table <OLDIOT>
4. Rename table <NEWIOT> to <OLDIOT>

Is there a better procedure that anyone can suggest?

TIA, Nirmalya
