SQLcl CTAS Command question

Hi everybody,
we are using Oracle SQLDeveloper Command-Line (SQLcl) version: 18.2.0.0.
I was trying to use the ctas Command to create the ddl from a table in a different tablespace. I was executing this command as sys User.
But it always throws me the following error:
SQL> ctas user1.test1 test;Create Table As Select command failed to get DDL for table "user1"
Is it not possible to use this command to create a table from different schemas? The command execute without errors when i want to create a table from my own schema.
Greetings Daniel

Even when logged in as HR, if I run
SQL> ctas hr.employees hr.employees_Clone
then it returns
Create Table As Select command failed to get DDL for table "HR"
so the issue is with the CTAS command not expecting "table" or "new_table" to be provided in the form of "schema"."table".
Sounds like a bug, or at least an enhancement request. Best to log an SR on MOS if you have an account.

In the meanwhile, check out the BRIDGE command:

Hi Glen,
thanks for the reply. I also came across the bridge command which sounds also very interessting. I will try that command.
And also i will raise an SR in MOS.
