Parition table question

Question

Hi,
I have created following table in 9.2 db
create table t select * from dba_objects;
insert into t select * from t;
insert into t select * from t;
commit;
18:24:49 SQL> create table t1
18:24:56 2 partition by range (created)
18:24:56 3 (
18:24:56 4 partition t1_part2004 values less than (to_date('01-JAN-2005', 'DD-MON-YYYY')),
18:24:56 5 partition t1_part9999 values less than (to_date('01-JAN-9999', 'DD-MON-YYYY'))
18:24:56 6 )
18:24:56 7 as
18:24:56 8 select * from t
18:24:57 9 /
When I try to add partition I am getting following error
alter table t1 add partition t1_part2006 values less than (to_date('01-JAN-2006', 'DD-MON-YYYY'))
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-14074: partition bound must collate higher than that of the last partition
How can I do this ?

pjpYou should have Range partitions as follow:
All partiotions must have a upper and lower bound of values except one/two which will have upper/lower bound only. To make it more clarified:
partition 1: values less than 01/01/1999
partition 2: values greater than 12/31/1998 and less than 01/01/2006
partition 3: values greater than 12/31/2005 and less than 01/01/2007
partition 4: values greater than 12/31/2006
Thanks
