Best Method to Move Partitioned Data to Another Server

Question

Hi,
In our company we have a monthly maintenance to move one partition from many partitioned tables to another server. I want to know what is the following:
1- Best way to do this task and to move table partitions to another database on another server?
2- When I delete table partition, do I need to analyze the table or rebuild the indexes?
Appreciate your prompt response.
Thanks

Answer 1

2- When I delete table partition, do I need to analyze the table or rebuild the indexes?What do you mean by delete table partition? If you mean truncate or drop parition then you should use "UPDATE GLOBAL INDEXES" clause in order to avoid rebuilding global indexes as shown in the below examle:
create table TAB1 ( Value number(10))
  partition by range(value)
  partition p1 values less than (10),
  partition p2 values less than (20),
  partition p3 values less than (30),
  partition p4 values less than (40),
  partition p5 values less than (50)
insert into tab1
select rownum
from dual connect by rownum < 50;
commit;
create index tab1_indx1 on tab1(value);
sql> select index_name, status
  2  from user_indexes
  3  where index_name = 'TAB1_INDX1';
INDEX_NAME                     STATUS
TAB1_INDX1                     VALID
sql> alter table tab1 drop partition p2 UPDATE GLOBAL INDEXES;
Table altered.
sql> select index_name, status
  2  from user_indexes
  3  where index_name = 'TAB1_INDX1';
INDEX_NAME                     STATUS
TAB1_INDX1                     VALID
sql> alter table tab1 drop partition p3;
Table altered.
sql> select index_name, status
  2  from user_indexes
  3  where index_name = 'TAB1_INDX1';
INDEX_NAME                     STATUS
TAB1_INDX1                     UNUSABLEMohamed Houri
