What is the difference between:

CREATE table table_A
PARALLEL (DEGREE 8)
as 
SELECT * FROM table_B;

and

CREATE table table_A
as 
SELECT /*+ PARALLEL (table_B, 8) */ 
       * 
FROM table_B;

If they're different, which is better??? Why??

In the first example, the table will be created so that future queries will use parallel query. In the second example, only the creation will use Parallel Query, queries on the created table will be serial.
