11g interval partitioning and global index maintenance

hi gurus,
in 11g interval partitioning system can automatically manage the creation of new partitions based on data.
in this case do we need to manage global indexes?
in earlier versions, we have to update global indexes whenever there is a partition maintenance operation.
please suggest.
thanks,
charles

So it should be the same when using interval partitioning.

    Hi,
    have a look at online redefinition of a table, see Oracle Manual (10.2): http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14231/tables.htm#ADMIN01514

  • Oracle 11g interval partitioning - meaningfull partition-names

    Hello,
    On 11g, when creating interval partitions, the partitions get automatically created just fine. Very nice feature. But is it possible to supply meaningfull names to them?
    Now they get names SYS_nnn, but I would like to name them for instance SALES_2007.
    Here is one example on how to use interval partitioning:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b32024/part_admin.htm#BAJHFFBE
    And here is the syntax guide:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28286/statements_7002.htm#sthref7644
    I don't see how to accomplish meaningfull names (automatically!). Do you?

    No I don't think it is possible. This is what is written in Oracle documentation..

    The range partitioning key value determines the high value of the range partitions, which is called the transition point, and the database creates interval partitions for data beyond that transition point.

  • Range - Interval Partition and List Subpartition.

    Hi
    I am trying to create the Range(Interval) Partition with List Sub partition (dynamically). Here the LOCATION_CD List is Dynamic. Basically Location_CD is Country name. e.g USA, IND,GER.....
    Below Works good...
    CREATE TABLE TEMP
    SEQUENCE_ID NUMBER,
    RESERVATION_DATE TIMESTAMP,
    LOCATION_CD VARCHAR2(5)
    PARTITION BY RANGE (RESERVATION_DATE)
    INTERVAL (NUMTOYMINTERVAL(1,'MONTH'))
    SUBPARTITION BY LIST(LOCATION_CD)
    SUBPARTITION TEMPLATE
    ( SUBPARTITION CD_01 VALUES ('USA'),
    SUBPARTITION CD_02 VALUES ('IND'),
    SUBPARTITION CD_03 VALUES ('GER')
    PARTITION TEMP values LESS THAN (TO_DATE('01-JAN-2000','DD-MON-YYYY'))
    Today there are 3 Countries but going forward it can be more or less.
    I like the Interval Range Partition concept, where the new partition is automatically gets added.
    But at the same time can the new list sub partition be added ? If this doesn't work...can we have another alternative approach or partition technique ?
    Please suggest.

  • A question regarding database table partitioning and table indexes in 10g

    We are considering partitioning a large table in our 10g database, in order to improve response time. I believe I understand the various partitioning options, but am wondering about the indexes built over the table. When the table is partitioned, will the indexes also be partitioned "automatically"? Or do I need to also partition the indexes as well?
    Thank you in advance to any and all who respond to this question.

    Hello,
    When you build your partiton table you just need to create indexes locally and they will be partitioned automatically, see following example
    CREATE TABLE YY_EVENT
      PART_KEY       DATE                              NOT NULL,
      SUBPART_VALUE  NUMBER                             NULL,
      EVENT_NAME     VARCHAR2(30 BYTE)                  NULL,
      EVENT_VALUE    NUMBER                             NULL
    TABLESPACE TEST_DATA
    PARTITION BY RANGE (PART_KEY)
      PARTITION Y_EVENT_200901 VALUES LESS THAN (TO_DATE(' 2009-02-01 00:00:00', 'SYYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS', 'NLS_CALENDAR=GREGORIAN'))
        TABLESPACE TEST_DATA, 
      PARTITION Y_EVENT_200902 VALUES LESS THAN (TO_DATE(' 2009-03-01 00:00:00', 'SYYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS', 'NLS_CALENDAR=GREGORIAN'))
        TABLESPACE TEST_DATA
    -- This will create paritioned indexes automatically
    CREATE INDEX MY_IDX ON YY_EVENT
    (EVENT_NAME)
      TABLESPACE TEST_DATA

  • 11G Interval Partitioning range based on number

    All the Oracle documentation states that interval partitioning can be range partitioned on a column that is NUMBER or DATE datatype, but the examples all show just for a DATE column and for a monthly interval.
    I need an interval by year, where the partition column is NUMBER and contains 4 digit numbers for year like 2010.
    .Does anyone have a working example for creating an interval partitioned table on a NUMBER datatype column?

    Please do not refer people to the old, non-maintained psoug site. I have asked this several times in the past.
    You do people no favor sending them to the old site contains as it contains inaccurate information I am unable to access and fix.

  • Split Oracle 11g Table Partition and Insert new rows

I need to split a partition of a table with more than 800 Million records, but at the same time (during the split operation) i need to insert new records (not in the partition that is being splited). Is there any problem/risk doing this? Is the insert ETL process going to fail ?

    Based on the description, you want to modify the formula for the A1 and B1 cell when you insert a new rows.
    Yes, we can use Worksheet.Change to dermin the change of data on the worksheet then we can modify the formula as we wanted. Here is a sample for your reference:

  • Local index vs global index in partitioned tables

    Hi,
    I want to know the differences between a global and a local index.
    I'm working with partitioned tables about 10 millons rows and 40 partitions.
    I know that when your table is partitioned and your index non-partitioned is possible that
    some database operations make your index unusable and you have tu rebuid it, for example
    when yo truncate a partition your global index results unusable, is there any other operation
    that make the global index unusable??
    I think that the advantage of a global index is that takes less space than a local and is easier to rebuild,
    and the advantage of a local index is that is more effective resolving a query isn't it???
    Any advice and help about local vs global index in partitioned tables will be greatly apreciatted.
    Thanks in advance

    here is the documentation -> http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14220/partconc.htm#sthref2570
    In general, you should use global indexes for OLTP applications and local indexes for data warehousing or DSS applications. Also, whenever possible, you should try to use local indexes because they are easier to manage. When deciding what kind of partitioned index to use, you should consider the following guidelines in order:
    1. If the table partitioning column is a subset of the index keys, use a local index. If this is the case, you are finished. If this is not the case, continue to guideline 2.
    2. If the index is unique, use a global index. If this is the case, you are finished. If this is not the case, continue to guideline 3.
    3. If your priority is manageability, use a local index. If this is the case, you are finished. If this is not the case, continue to guideline 4.
    4. If the application is an OLTP one and users need quick response times, use a global index. If the application is a DSS one and users are more interested in throughput, use a local index.

    Your initial question said you were already using interval partitioning.
    >
    I am using Interval Partition for my table
    now users asking to convert Range to Interval Partition and keeping existing partitions same name.
    >
    So is your issue that you want to use interval partitining for a table now is now using range partitioning? Why are your users driving this change? That should be a decision made by the DBA and technical management since the difference is mainly on of management.
    Though there is one BIG difference that is data related. With interval partitioning if data (even erroneous data) is inserted for a partition that does not exist Oracle will create one. So if you have an insert statement that inserts 12 records for the year '2038' you will get 12 new partitions even though the data may be bogus.
    Now your management problem is detecting the problem, deleting the data (or fixing the date to move it to the right partition) and then dropping the partitions and storage.
    With 'interval' partitioning you had better be absolutely sure your data is clean in terms of the partitioning key values.
    That said, you can use table redefinition or just create a new interval partitioned table and do partition exchanges with the existing partitions to move the data.

  • Local Index vs Global Index

    Hi,
    I am aware that Local Index and Global Index methods are attached with Partitions, like local is pertaining to a particular partition. We need to update global index while dropping a partition or using exchange partitions.
