A couple of years ago we daily copied 4 GBytes of data in 250 tables through database links using CREATE TABLE AS SELECT. I don't believe any individual table was 2 GBytes (I cannot be definite on this). The copy took place within a Sun E10K Gigabyte links. We were running 8.1.7. We had 12 concurrent processes doing the copying. It used to finish within 15 minutes. The copying was done at a period of low activity.
