Hi,

I've a 6 million row table that needs to be copied to another, to produce identical copies.

I'm contemplating either performing a very large insert (will I have the rollback to support it!) or extracting the first table to a file for subsequent loading by sqlload.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Andy
