Hi

I have a very large DW table in which there are only inserts and NO
updates/deletes.
The table grows by around 2-5 % every week due to new inserts.

I need to return the rows for each customer in the same order as inserted to
table.
Due to design/delivery constraints , i cannot modify the table.

ques 1 : if i do a 'select * from table' with where clause but no order by
clause,
           will the Order of rows returned be the same whenever this query is
executed ?
           Is this gauranteed by Oracle ?

ques 2 : if i export/import this table , then execute the same query,
           will the Order of rows returned be the same as before the export/import
?

ques 3 : if i use the 'move' cmd to rebuild this table , then execute my
query,
           will the Order of rows returned be the same as before the rebuild ?

any explanations are most welcome....

many thanks
