create table aadedupekeys
(

   file_id number,
   rundate date,

   pk      number(10),
   dk      varchar2(128),

   constraint aadedupekeys_pk primary key (file_id,rundate) )
;

Is there anyway to partition a table (above) in months e.g.
('January','Februray'...). I want to use the rundate and list partition it
using the months of the year. How can I do that without actually having to create another column in the table that only contains the month it belongs to? I cannot seem to use a function on the rundate field as part of the partition syntax to generate a month to partition the data.

Thanks for your help,

Rick Stephenson
