Hy Guys

i have a global temporary table temp_tab and i want to insert to that table from a query

select a.* from tab_a a, tab_b
where a.id = b.a_id => takes 1 minute

insert /*+ APPEND */ into temp_tab
select a.* from tab_a a, tab_b
where a.id = b.a_id => takes 10 minutes more

the rows of the query is 100000 rows
no index in temp_tab

what could be the problem?

thank you

If you set temp_undo_enabled=true it might help.

Usually when you see these issues it is one of three things:

>The select is run in a GUI and the first N rows are coming back quickly, NOT the whole result set.
>There are triggers or shedloads of indexes on the table inserted to
>Something is locking the object

Other possibilities exist, but I'd check these first.
