Hello,
Here;s how you can split your partition by quartely
ALTER TABLE TBLMEDRATINTRIM_DETAIL_ROAM_01
SPLIT PARTITION PS_INTROAM_TILL_MAR2009 AT
(TO_DATE(' 2009-01-01 00:00:00', 'SYYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS', 'NLS_CALENDAR=GREGORIAN'))
INTO (PARTITION PS_INTROAM_TILL_Q4
       TABLESPACE TABLESPACE TS_INTROAM_TILL_MAR2009
       PARTITION PS_INTROAM_TILL_MAR2009);
ALTER TABLE KLONDIKE.TBLMEDRATINTRIM_DETAIL_ROAM_01
SPLIT PARTITION PS_INTROAM_TILL_Q4 AT
(TO_DATE(' 2008-10-01 00:00:00', 'SYYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS', 'NLS_CALENDAR=GREGORIAN'))
INTO (PARTITION PS_INTROAM_TILL_Q3
       PARTITION PS_INTROAM_TILL_Q4);
ALTER TABLE KLONDIKE.TBLMEDRATINTRIM_DETAIL_ROAM_01
SPLIT PARTITION PS_INTROAM_TILL_Q3 AT
(TO_DATE(' 2008-07-01 00:00:00', 'SYYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS', 'NLS_CALENDAR=GREGORIAN'))
INTO (PARTITION PS_INTROAM_TILL_Q2
       PARTITION PS_INTROAM_TILL_Q3);
ALTER TABLE TBLMEDRATINTRIM_DETAIL_ROAM_01
SPLIT PARTITION PS_INTROAM_TILL_Q2 AT
(TO_DATE(' 2008-04-01 00:00:00', 'SYYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS', 'NLS_CALENDAR=GREGORIAN'))
INTO (PARTITION PS_INTROAM_TILL_Q1
       PARTITION PS_INTROAM_TILL_Q2);To compress old partitions;
You can create one temp compressed for one quaretly partiton, you can repeat this process
1. create table Q1_cmp tablespace <ts_name> compress as select * from TBLMEDRATINTRIM_DETAIL_ROAM_01 where CALLEND between to_date('20080101,'YYYYMMDD') and to_date('20080331','YYYYMMDD');
2. Then exchange Q1 uncompressed partition with Q1_cmp
ALTER TABLE TBLMEDRATINTRIM_DETAIL_ROAM_01
  EXCHANGE PARTITION PS_INTROAM_TILL_Q1
  WITH TABLE Q1_CMP
  EXCLUDING INDEXES
  WITHOUT VALIDATION;
3. Then just rename partition back to original nameyou are in telecom and are you saving CDRs or MSUs, so tablespace size depends upon the volume. I suggest to go with the default value of 32 gig and I think it will grow upto 20 G
create tablespace q1_ts datafile '/location/q1_ts/q1_tsdat01.dbf'  size 512M autoextend on next 256M maxsize unlimited.Hope this helps
