: NOTE : According to _Oracle : The Complete Reference_ (Koch&Looney), the
: 'create table ... as select * from ...unrecoverable' option
: suggested by Mr. Chan will be the fastest since no redo log

: suspect
: that since this is a DDL and the operation cannot be rolled back,
: there is no use of rollback segments - any feedback on this ??

that's correct...this should apply even to pre-7.2 versions. the unrecoverable option provides the additional benefit of no redo generation, which can be significant.
