You should realize that this is not a very good answer. Creating the new table does not duplicate the indexes, foreign keys, views, grants... When you drop the old table, those things either go away, or in the case of incoming references, block the table drop unless you specify the cascade constraints clause.

I just wanted you to know that you may have quite a bit of cleanup/patchup to do after performing Oracle's "solution".
