I'm trying to CTAS a large table into another database and it's failing with 'Snapshot too old'. The source table is located in a readonly tablespace so I'm certain there are no changes occurring while the create table is running and I've used CTAS to copy over smaller tables from the databases with no problems. The destination table is created as a paritioned/subpartitioned table with nologging (or would if it completed) and both databases are 9.2.0.5 using AUM. I've turned on tracing, but the copy takes a long time to complete so I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to how this could happen.
