CREATE TABLE AS (with subquery using hints)

Hi,

OK, we all know the following is fine

create column table <SCHEMA>.<TABLENAME>  as (

SELECT *

FROM "_SYS_BIC".<VIEW>

);

Creates a table with the resultset from the subquery.

Can anyone confirm if it is a limitation of a subquery within CREATE TABLE AS that hints cannot be used?  Example below.

create column table <SCHEMA>.<TABLENAME>  as (

SELECT *

FROM "_SYS_BIC".<VIEW>

with hint (ignore_view_cache)

);

Many thanks.
