Re: SELECT INTO new_table

Most probably you'd like to revisit your programming approach and not to use the very same technique like in MSSQL and Transact-SQL. Yea, I'v seen technique to use many temporary tables in Transact-SQL procedures (and was horrified by it) but although it may be acceptable and advisable in MSSQL, it definitely isn't advisable in Oracle. One direct way to avoid it is to use global temporary tables, other ways probably aren't directly related, they might be task-specific ways.

Here is a link in asktom about this problem: http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/ask/f?p=4950:8:::::F4950_P8_DISPLAYID:6630620415602
