I created three partitions for a list partioned table:

partition sch_complete values('X', 'C' , 'UC' , 'UT' ,'MC'),
partition sch_archived values('AR'),
partition def values(default)

When I issue the following query:

select count(*) from sch_ked where sch_status <> 'AR'

I expect that Oracle should ignore the "sch_archived" partition, but it doesn't happen, here is the explain plan:

Execution Plan
----------------------------------------------------------
Plan hash value: 3418116897

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Bytes | Cost (%CPU)| Time | Pstart| Pstop |
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | 1 | 12 | 24 (9)| 00:00:01 | | |
| 1 | SORT AGGREGATE | | 1 | 12 | | | | |
| 2 | PARTITION LIST ALL | | 45100 | 528K| 24 (9)| 00:00:01 | 1 | 3 |
|* 3 | INDEX FAST FULL SCAN| IDX_BIT_SCH_STATUS | 45100 | 528K| 24 (9)| 00:00:01 | 1 | 3
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


This is strange behaviour !! Can anyone comment if I am missing something ?

Hmmm. Looks like partition pruning does not like NOT predicates. I can't get it to work either. That would make it consistent with b-tree index scans, which work the same way.

This works though:
select count(*) 
from sch_ked 
where sch_status > 'AR'
or sch_status < 'AR'

Don't know whether that's much help though.
