segregate the data first and then copy it into the child tables.
else copy it into a temp table and insert it from there using
insert into CHILD_NAME select * from TEMPNAME where SEGREGATION CONDITION;
oryou may have success with the simple copy if you increase the number of file
handles and buffers sufficiently.
