The only reasons against it I can think of are: that if the table's in a DB, there could be related problems. Also, you lose any cdx without an extra RENAME. And if there's a network hiccup, you could have a problem, though it's not very likely.

I'd probably tend to use COPY TO for most situations instead, as it has more clauses available like for DB, CDX, and *just in case* something goes wrong, you still have the original.
