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.
You cannot explicitly drop a partition from a local index. Instead, local index partitions are dropped only when you drop a partition from the underlying table.
Subpartitioning—also known as composite partitioning—is the further division of each partition in a partitioned table.
EXCHANGE PARTITION command can exchange partitions in a LIST , RANGE or HASH partitioned table. The structure of the source_table must match the structure of the target_table in that both tables must have matching columns and data types. The data in the table must adhere to the partitioning constraints.
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.
2.1 Partitioning Overview. Partitioning provides a technique to subdivide objects into smaller pieces. Partitioning allows a table, index, or index-organized table to be subdivided into smaller pieces, where each piece of such a database object is called a partition.
Follow these steps to partition your hard drive: Step 1: Open Disk Management. Right-click on the Start button. Step 2: Choose the drive to partition. In the Disk Management window, you'll see a list of your drives and their current partitions. Step 3: Shrink the existing volume. Step 4: Create a new partition.
You cannot explicitly drop a partition from a local index. Instead, local index partitions are dropped only when you drop a partition from the underlying table.
After selecting the partitioning column and any other options, select Next. On the Select a Partition Function page, under Select partition function, select either New partition function or Existing partition function. If you choose New partition function, enter the name of the function.
CREATE TABLE table_name table_definition PARTITION BY KEY(column_list) PARTITION num ; KEY partitioning takes only a list of zero or more column names. Any columns used as the partitioning key must be a part of the primary key. When no partitioning key is defined, the primary key will be used.
