All rows in table do not qualify for specified partition

Question

SQL> Alter Table ABC
2 Exchange Partition P1 With Table XYZ;
Table altered.
SQL> Alter Table ABC
2 Exchange Partition P2 With Table XYZ;
Exchange Partition P2 With Table XYZ
ERROR at line 2:
ORA-14099: all rows in table do not qualify for specified partition
The exchange partition works correct for the first time. However if we try to exchange 2nd partition it gives the error.
How do i solve this error?
How do i find rows which are not qualified for the specified portion. is there a query to find out the same?

Is there another way?First of all, exchange is physical operation. It is not possible to append exchanged data. So solution would be to create archive table as partitioned and use non-partitioned intermediate table for exchange:

  3  ACCOUNT_CODE VARCHAR2(50) not null,
  4  POSTING_DATE DATE not null
  5  ) partition by range(POSTING_DATE) INTERVAL(NUMTOYMINTERVAL(1, 'MONTH'))
  6  ( partition day0 values less than (TO_DATE('01-12-2012', 'DD-MM-YYYY') ) )
  7  /
Table created.

PARTITION_NAME                 HIGH_VALUE
DAY0                           TO_DATE(' 2012-12-01 00:00:00', 'SYYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS', 'NLS_CALENDAR=GREGORIAN')
SYS_P119                       TO_DATE(' 2013-01-01 00:00:00', 'SYYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS', 'NLS_CALENDAR=GREGORIAN')
SYS_P120                       TO_DATE(' 2013-02-01 00:00:00', 'SYYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS', 'NLS_CALENDAR=GREGORIAN')
Now we need to echange partition SYS_P119 to FLX_TIME2 and then echange FLX_TIME2 into FLX_TIME1_ARCHIVE:
To exchange it with FLX_TIME2:
SQL> truncate table FLX_TIME2;
Table truncated.
SQL> alter table FLX_TIME1 exchange partition SYS_P119 with table FLX_TIME2;
Table altered.To exchange FLX_TIME2 with FLX_TIME1_ARCHIVE we need to create corresponding partition in FLX_TIME1_ARCHIVE. To do than we use LOCK TABLE PARTITION FOR syntax supplying proper date value HIGH_VALUE - 1 (partition partitioning column is less than HIGH_VALUE so we subtract 1) and then use ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE PARTITION FOR syntax:
SQL> lock table FLX_TIME1_ARCHIVE
  2    partition for(TO_DATE(' 2013-01-01 00:00:00', 'SYYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS', 'NLS_CALENDAR=GREGORIAN') - 1)
  3    in share mode;
Table(s) Locked.
SQL> alter table FLX_TIME1_ARCHIVE exchange partition
  2    for(TO_DATE(' 2013-01-01 00:00:00', 'SYYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS', 'NLS_CALENDAR=GREGORIAN') - 1)
  3    with table FLX_TIME2;
Table altered.
SQL> Same way we exchange partition SYS_P120:
SQL> truncate table FLX_TIME2;
Table truncated.
SQL> alter table FLX_TIME1 exchange partition SYS_P120 with table FLX_TIME2;
Table altered.
SQL> lock table FLX_TIME1_ARCHIVE
  2    partition for(TO_DATE(' 2013-01-02 00:00:00', 'SYYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS', 'NLS_CALENDAR=GREGORIAN') - 1)
  3    in share mode;
Table(s) Locked.
SQL> alter table FLX_TIME1_ARCHIVE exchange partition
  2    for(TO_DATE(' 2013-02-01 00:00:00', 'SYYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS', 'NLS_CALENDAR=GREGORIAN') - 1)
  3    with table FLX_TIME2;
Table altered.
