title: Append hint and create table as
body: <p>currently we're loading a big amount of data via the following (simplified) sql:</p>
  
  <pre><code>create table temp_table as (
      select /*+parallel(2) */ col_a, col_b, col_c
      from tab_a
  );
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want to increase the performance even more by adding the <code>APPEND</code> hint. Is it possible to add it to <code>CREATE TABLE AS</code>? or is it an insert only hint? How could I change this to apply the <code>append</code> hint?</p>
