I have three oracle tables :
    table_1:
    ID   some_fields
    121      xx
    122      xx
    123      xx
    124      xx
    125      xx

    create table table_1 as
    select 121,'xx' from dual
    union select 122,'xx' from dual
    union select 123,'xx' from dual
    union select 124,'xx' from dual
    union select 125,'xx' from dual


    table_2:
    ID   some_fields
    221      xx
    222      xx
    223      xx
    224      xx
    225      xx

    create table table_2 as
    select 221,'xx' from dual
    union select 222,'xx' from dual
    union select 223,'xx' from dual
    union select 224,'xx' from dual
    union select 225,'xx' from dual

    table3:
    ID    field_1    field_2
    1      121         221
    2      222         125
    3      225         124
    4      123         223
    5      122         224

    create table table_3 as
    select 121,'221' from dual
    union select 222,'125' from dual
    union select 225,'124' from dual
    union select 123,'223' from dual
    union select 122,'224' from dual

I need to re-arrange table_3 to have all ids of table_1 in field_1 and all ids of table_2 in field_2 , knowing that ids in table_1 and table_2 are unique.

    ID    field_1    field_2
    1      121         221
    2      125         222
    3      124         225
    4      123         223
    5      122         224
Noting in reality that these tables contain millions of rows.
I'm thinking of creating a view that accomplish my need but not sure how to proceed.

Ghostman, can you post code that actually works? This doesn't:
orclz> create table table_1 as
  2      select 121,'xx' from dual
  3      union select 122,'xx' from dual
  4      union select 123,'xx' from dual
  5      union select 124,'xx' from dual
  6      union select 125,'xx' from dual;
create table table_1 as
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00998: must name this expression with a column alias


orclz>
you can't expect people to debug your test case.

my goal is not to populate table_3 based on table_1 and table_2.Actually table_3 is already there and contains values from table_1 and table_2 in field_1 and field_2, and I want to re-arrange it as I described in the post.

If you want an id before then just add the rn in my query:

or you could just use "rownum" as the first column.

Maybe I wasn't clear enough.
table_3 already exist and contain values from table_1 and table_2 in field_1 and field_2.
What I need is to get a result using table_3 data where field_1 only contain table_1 ids and field_2 contains table_2 ids.
so for example for a specific row in table_3 , if field_1 contains an id from table_2 and field_2 contains and id from table_1 , I have to swap the values in field_1 and field_2

A question, in table_3, if field_1 contains a value from table_1 does this mean that necessary field_2 contains a value from table_2? And if field_1 contains a value from table_2 does this mean that necessary field_2 contains a value from table_1?
If not what to do with the other value for your result?

If the hypothesis is correct (table_3 fields are not null and values are in either table_1 or table_2) then you need only one of the 2 later tables (I chose table_1):
SQL> with
  2  table_1 as (
  3      select 121 id,'xx' val from dual
  4      union select 122,'xx' from dual
  5      union select 123,'xx' from dual
  6      union select 124,'xx' from dual
  7      union select 125,'xx' from dual
  8  ),
  9  /*
 10  table_2 as (
 11      select 221 id,'xx' val from dual
 12      union select 222,'xx' from dual
 13      union select 223,'xx' from dual
 14      union select 224,'xx' from dual
 15      union select 225,'xx' from dual
 16  ),
 17  */
 18  table_3 as (
 19      select 121 field_1,'221' field_2 from dual
 20      union select 222,'125' from dual
 21      union select 225,'124' from dual
 22      union select 123,'223' from dual
 23      union select 122,'224' from dual
 24  )
 25  select rownum id,
 26         nvl(t1.id, t3.field_2) field_1,
 27         nvl2(t1.id, t3.field_2, t3.field_1) field_2
 28  from table_3 t3 left outer join table_1 t1
 29       on t1.id = t3.field_1
 30  /
        ID    FIELD_1 FIELD_2
---------- ---------- ----------------------------------
         1        121 221
         2        122 224
         3        123 223
         4        125 222
         5        124 225
