About Using CREATE TABLE AS SELECT in Parallel

Parallel execution lets you execute the query in parallel and create operations of creating a table as a subquery from another table or set of tables. This can be extremely useful in the creation of summary or rollup tables.

Clustered tables cannot be created and populated in parallel.

Figure 8-4 illustrates creating a summary table from a subquery in parallel.
