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.
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.
Subpartitioning—also known as composite partitioning—is the further division of each partition in a partitioned table.
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.
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.

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.
