Ah,… that was your point?… I was amazed that you could do a CTAS on a table based on an XMLTYPE without doing anything “special”

Ehh Alex, my point was that a CTAS creates a different table if used on an XMLType table…

As you already figure what the deal is with a table with an XMLTYPE. I figured I’d include your example in the post for all to see.

Alex, as far as I know (tested a year ago), although XMLType is a “type” has the posibility of IOT’s and nested table storage etc (using create table test of xmltype,etc), can not be copied via CTAS. Could you have a check via your method? THX.
