FreeLists / oracle-l / Re: ** temp table or permanent

["Mark Brinsmead" <pythianbrinsmead@xxxxxxxxx>]

You seem to be jumping through a lot of hoops to solve a fairly
straight-forward (sounding) problem.

Your first step should be to optimize / rewrite the query to perform less
I/O and or execute more quickly.

Your second step should be to increase UNDO / Rollback as needed, within
practical limits, of course.

After this, you might consider temporary tables (Global Temporary Table
recommended) etc. or
Materialized Views.

Of course, advice like this is easy to give when I know *nothing* of your
specific situation.  ;-)
