|  Subj:  |   |  CREATE TABLE AS : Primary Index and Compressed Columns  |   
|     |

A CREATE TABLE ... AS of the following form causes a failure under V2R5.0 if any of the primary index columns is compressed on the source
table : 
CREATE TABLE mydbase.my_table  AS
(SELECT      T1.col_01
                        ,T1.col_03
FROM   proddbase.source_table_01                 T1
      ,proddbase.source_table_02                 T2
WHERE       ... etc
)
WITH NO DATA
PRIMARY INDEX     (T1.col_01, T2.col_02) ;
Under V2R4.1.3 the above worked - despite the manual implying that it wouldn't - and simply ignored the compression. 
Does anyone know of a workaround that will still allow the convenience of using CREATE TABLE AS? 
 Thanks, 
Gary
