Hi,

Oracle version : 9.2.0.1 on windows

I have done hash partitioning on table. I can see partitions.
But I am getting message : Only range partitiong is supported in this version.
How to view table partition data??

Data in table is,
1 Seema
2 Meena
& so on

When I tried to do list partition

SQL> create table ctct_dup2(id number, name varchar2(30))
2 PARTITION BY LIST( substr(name,1,1))
3 (PARTITION from_a_to_f VALUES (`A','B','C','D','E','F') ,
4 PARTITION from g_to_l VALUES (`G','H','I','J','K','L') ,
5 PARTITION from m_to_S VALUES (`M','N','O','P','Q','R','S') ,
6 PARTITION from t_to_z VALUES ('T','U','V','W','X','Y','Z')
7 )
8 ENABLE ROW MOVEMENT;
PARTITION BY LIST( substr(name,1,1))
*
ERROR at line 2:
ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis

Please help

please read OraFAQ Forum Guide, especially "How to format your post?" section.
Make sure that lines of code do not exceed 80 characters when you format.
Indent the code (See SQL Formatter).
Use the "Preview Message" button to verify.

list parameter must be a column and can't be an expression.

When do you get this message? When trying to query one partition?
If so, you probably have wrong idea about the reason for hash partitioning. In that case, data shall be (ideally equally) distributed into partitions using hash function - good for parallel inserting - so one partition contains 'random' data connected only by the same result of the (internal) hash function. I see no reason for querying them.

> PARTITION BY LIST( substr(name,1,1))

List partitions can be built on columns, not expressions.
Try RANGE partitioning instead; it should be good if NAME column starts with letters A-Z in uppercase.

From the Partitionig defination provided, you have wrongly choosen to do hash or list partitioning. Range partitioning is appropriate here.Secondly partitioning the table on name columnis not the right choice because it won't be unique.
Better you choose the unique key of this table. Last but not the least your application should use the partition key in SQL, only then this is going to benifit.

Which oracle RDBMS version you are using? Upto 10gr2 you need to by the separate licenses to use this feature.

Which definition? Hash may be a good choice, it depends on the purpose of the partitioning.

And then? Partition is not just for unique value, it is made to... partition the data.

Once again it depends on the purpose of the partitioning.

Right, it depends on partitioning purpose.I was talking in case of range partition, partitioning on unique key is always better.
It should not be a problem in 9X, this component comes by default.

Better regarding what?
"Always"? Nothing is "always" better otherwise the other things would not exist.

Thanks to all.

oracle version : 9.2.0.8 on windows
I have done list partitioning of table on different column

partition by list(c_ctp_id)
( partition ctct_analyst values('2308')
partition ctct_others values('2305','2307','2310','2405')
)

.But when I checked in script in toad for that table, it has converted into hash partitions.
Folowing is code at the end of the script
PARTITION BY HASH (C_CTP_ID)
PARTITIONS 2
STORE IN ( AHD1_DATA,AHD1_DATA);


& in partitions tab in toad, it is showing
partition name max value
ctct_analyst 2308
ctct_others 2305,2307,2310,2405

I have created empty partitioned table ctct_060508 as above & now when I try to copy data from original non parttitoned table into it, it is giving following error
SQL> insert into ctct_060508 select * from ctct;
insert into ctct_060508 select * from ctct
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-14400: inserted partition key does not map to any partition

But none of the key is different than partition key.
SQL> select distinct c_ctp_id from ctct;

C_CTP_ID
----------
2305
2307
2308
2310
2405
Why error is coming??

6 rows selected.

Oracle does NOT convert what you say in something else. Either it can do it and do it either it can't and returns an error.
Maybe TOAD returns wrong information.
quoting Ana (anacedent):

Given that we don't what is the real partioning the rest of the post is meaningless.

Use SQL*Plus, copy and paste your session from beginning (create tables) to end (errors).

I see 5 values returned, but 6 rows reported.
The last one is apparently NULL value, which does not fit to any partition you created and the error is raised.

Yes, Thanks.
It was a silly mistake
But, I have created table at sql prompt & when I checked script in toad for that table , it is showing hash partitioning.
Why is it so ???

Thanks.
I have done range partitioning as above.
 create table tab3(id number,name varchar2(30))
 partition by range(name)
 (
 partition p1 values less than ('G%'),
 partition p2 values less than ('Z%')
 )
 ENABLE ROW MOVEMENT;


How to include values start with Z??
Since range partitioning supports values less than clause.

Just wonder why did you issue the '%' character; it makes no sense here, as ('%' = CHR(37)) < ('A' = CHR(65)) in BINARY (ASCII) comparition rules.
Maybe you shall read about Datatype Comparison Rules: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96540/sql_elements2a.htm#54959
I would use CHR(ASCII('Z')+1) for BINARY sort.

However the sort behaves differently when NLS_SORT parameter is set differently. I have not coped with it very much, but you will find useful clues in Globalization Support Guide.

[Edit: Corrected the recommended expression]
