On the assign cells summary screen, verify that the partition you want to delete contains zero resources, and then click Apply. To delete the empty partition, click Partitioning in the left navigation area of the GUI. . If Delete is grayed-out, you must first move all storage cells and drive bays to another partition.
Partitioning-related clauses for ALTER TABLE can be used with partitioned tables for repartitioning, to add, drop, discard, import, merge, and split partitions, and to perform partitioning maintenance.
Use the ALTER TABLE ADD PARTITION statement to add a new partition to the "high" end (the point after the last existing partition). To add a partition at the beginning or in the middle of a table, use the SPLIT PARTITION clause.
ORA-14097: column type or size mismatch in ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE PARTITION Cause: The corresponding columns in the tables specified in the ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE PARTITION are of different type or size Action: Ensure that the two tables have the same number of columns with the same type and size.
Range partitioning is a convenient method for partitioning historical data. The boundaries of range partitions define the ordering of the partitions in the tables or indexes. Interval partitioning is an extension to range partitioning in which, beyond a point in time, partitions are defined by an interval.
You cannot explicitly add a partition to an interval-partitioned table. The database automatically creates a partition for an interval when data for that interval is inserted.
Example: HASH/RANGE PARTITIONS num... You can extend the PARTITION BY HASH clause to include SUBPARTITION BY either RANGE | LIST | HASH to create subpartitions in a HASH partitioned table. This example creates a table sales that's hash partitioned by part_no and subpartitioned using a range by dept_no .
To create a composite partitioned table, you start by using the PARTITION BY RANGE | LIST clause of a CREATE TABLE statement. Next, you specify a SUBPARTITION BY RANGE | LIST | HASH clause that follows similar syntax and rules as the PARTITION BY RANGE | LIST | HASH clause.
