The RANGE partitioning type is used to assign each partition a range of values generated by the partitioning expression. Ranges must be ordered, contiguous and non-overlapping. The minimum value is always included in the first range. The highest value may or may not be included in the last range.
Hash Partitioning is a data distribution technique used in database management systems. It employs a hash function that processes input data and generates a consistent hash value, which determines the partition where the data is stored.
With range or list partitioning, you must specify explicitly which partition a given column value or set of column values should be stored in; with hash partitioning, this decision is taken care of for you, and you need only specify a column value or expression based on a column value to be hashed and the number of ...
Subpartitioning—also known as composite partitioning—is the further division of each partition in a partitioned table.
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.
Subpartitioning—also known as composite partitioning—is the further division of each partition in a partitioned table.
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 .
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.
Dropping Table Partitions. You can use the ALTER TABLE DROP PARTITION statement to drop table partitions. If there are local indexes defined for the table, ALTER TABLE DROP PARTITION also drops the matching partition from each local index.
