CORE    11.2.0.2.0      Production
TNS for Linux: Version 11.2.0.2.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 11.2.0.2.0 - ProductionI have a partition table (4 range partitions) with a local index. I am not able to add further partitions to the table because local index creation is failing due to a non-existent tablespace.
Here is a test case:
CREATE TABLESPACE TEMP_TS
    DATAFILE '/databases/temp-ts-01.dbf' SIZE 1025M AUTOEXTEND OFF
    EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL
    LOGGING
    ONLINE
CREATE TABLE sales

  , time_id       DATE
  , channel_id    CHAR(1)
  , promo_id      NUMBER(6)
  , quantity_sold NUMBER(3)
  , amount_sold   NUMBER(10,2)
PARTITION BY RANGE (time_id)

, PARTITION sales_q2_2006 VALUES LESS THAN (TO_DATE('01-JUL-2006','dd-MON-yyyy')) TABLESPACE TEMP_TS
, PARTITION sales_q3_2006 VALUES LESS THAN (TO_DATE('01-OCT-2006','dd-MON-yyyy')) TABLESPACE TEMP_TS
, PARTITION sales_q4_2006 VALUES LESS THAN (TO_DATE('01-JAN-2007','dd-MON-yyyy')) TABLESPACE TEMP_TS
create index idx_tt on sales( prod_id) local tablespace TEMP_TS parallel 8;
insert into sales values(1,111,TO_DATE('31-MAR-2006','dd-MON-yyyy'),'A',121,1,100);
insert into sales values(2,222,TO_DATE('30-JUN-2006','dd-MON-yyyy'),'A',222,2,200);

SQL> select partition_name,num_rows from dba_tab_partitions where table_name='SALES' order by 1;
PARTITION_NAME                   NUM_ROWS

Now i am moving all table and index partitions to SALES_TBS tablespace in order to drop TEMP_TS tablespace.

Tablespace dropped.
Now, i am trying to add a partition to table.
ALTER TABLE SALES ADD PARTITION sales_q1_2007 VALUES LESS THAN (TO_DATE('01-APR-2007','dd-MON-yyyy')) TABLESPACE TEMP_TS ;
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00959: tablespace 'TEMP_TS' does not existI can drop and recreate the index but my prod index is 100 GB and it seems dropping and re-creating index is not a feasible solution.
Is there any other way i can influence Oracle to add local index partitions to existing tablespace SALES_TBS ?

Answer 1

Opps..that was a typo.. Thanks for point that out.
I am creating partition into an existing tablespace ADMIN.
SQL> ALTER TABLE SALES ADD PARTITION sales_q1_2007 VALUES LESS THAN (TO_DATE('01-APR-2007','dd-MON-yyyy')) TABLESPACE ADMIN ;
ALTER TABLE SALES ADD PARTITION sales_q1_2007 VALUES LESS THAN (TO_DATE('01-APR-2007','dd-MON-yyyy')) TABLESPACE ADMIN
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00959: tablespace 'TEMP_TS' does not exist
Here is issue: Adding partition to table will automatically add local index partition. Even if all my local index partitions are rebuilt in existent tablespace. Index ddl (from dbms_metadata) is still showing index tablesapce as TEMP_TS and hence index creation is getting failed.
