Basics of Partition Tables in Oracle
Submitted by giteshtrivedi on Tue, 2012-01-17 23:55Basics of Partition Tables
Partitioning is a method of splitting an object (a table or index) into separate parts (called partitions) based on some criterion that is assigned to the partition. The criterion might be a date range, a number range, or any other possible value. Imagine, for example, that you have a huge table that is driving you crazy because queries on it are really slow. You get so mad at this table that you take a logical hatchet and begin to slice the table up into many smaller tables is a partition.

R12 - XLA - After running Validate AAD program, why the XLA dynamic package becomes invalid?
Submitted by vamsi kasina on Fri, 2011-12-23 13:51

Depending on the rules (AMB Setup and Event Model) the dynamic package will be created, when the Validate Application Accounting Definition program has been run.
The package will be generated with the naming convension XLA_{5DIGIT_APPL_ID}_AAD_{SEED_CUSTOM}_{6DIGIT_AAD_HASH}_PKG.
AAD_HASH value will be found in xla_product_rules_b.product_rule_hash_id.
Examples for dynamic pakcages:
XLA_00555_AAD_C_011117_PKG
XLA_00200_AAD_S_000012_PKG
