Storage clause of create partition based on last storage value

Question

Hello,
could you give some advice how could i resolve this problem ?
I have procedure which is executed by job every day, once a day, and what it does, it automaticly add new partitions on one table.
I am now strugling with how to construct statement that will place every new partition in new tablespaces.
I created 8 tablespaces named data1..data8 and for this purpose, so now i am trying to understand how can i perform check in what tablespace was last partition placed and based on that, add new partition in first next tablespace. For example, last was created in data8 tablespace, so next must be created in data1 tablespace.
How can i check that ? Anyone have some suggestions ?
I am currently going with this logic :
select tablespace_name from
  (select * from user_tab_partitions where table_name='partitioned_table' order by partition_name desc)
  where rownum < 2 )And with this i get the name of the last used tablespace for the last created partition, but i currently don't know how to use this info further.
Deos someone have some other idea about this ?

Answer 1

Yes Sean,
i would like this to do bacuse of the tablespace that are created for that purpose, for that partitioned table.
For some reason, they must be used, and by the current logic where that procedure adds new partiotions with default storage option, they can't be used
and all partitions are created in one other tablespace named data.
This is situation on production, and i created similiar test environment.
data tablespace in production will in few days propably be full and intention is to start create new partitions in this way , in those new 8 tablespaces and in some time tottaly leave current and only used tablespace and that is data tablespace.
So i would like to somehow implement storage clause on already fully functional
alter table add partition
statement inside that procedure.
Is there some way for that ? That i use that qury i wrote above , and by using that value add on existing statement for create partition storage clause with next in line tablespace ?
