Goal

In the 19c document GeoRaster Developer Guide, section 3.13 Maintaining Efficient Use of Tablespace by GeoRaster Objects the following text advises on the use of a temporary working raster data table (RDT) to hold intermittent results which leaves some questions:
1. What kind of work is required to move or copy the data, is a general INSERT as SELECT acceptable?
2. When is the time to delete the RDT?  The manual states when the RDT becomes unnecessary but does not refer to what kind of work result makes it unnecessary.
3, The work image is to move the remaining data, including intermittent data, to a temporary working raster data table, truncate the originally used raster data table, and save the space  If this is correct, is it okay to use a general INSERT SELECT for the work of moving the remaining data, including intermittent data, to a raster data table for temporary use?
