Managing partition table please help [message #503242]

we have a table REVENUE. It is partition on "month wise" and it has data since 2009. Each partition has atleast
50000000 record. Since each partition size has become huge and more records will be added in future
we are plan to backup the entire table and have only last one year data in REVENUE table. Since
the table is huge we cannot use delete to purge last one year record after taking backup of REVENUE table
So we have proposed below way, if you have any better idea please let us know it will be helpful.

1) Create table REVENUE_BK with similar month wise partition and indexing.
2) Create a TEMP table similar strucure of revenue.
3) Use partition exchange load and transfer data from REVENUE table to temp table
4) Again transfer the data from temp table to REVENUE_BK table.
5) Rebuild index and cons on both REVENUE_BK and REVENUE table.
6) insert one year old data from REVENUE_BK to REVENUE table to respective partition.
7) Repeat from step 1 for all remaining 11 partition.

1) You don't need to rebuild indexes if they are local and if the TEMP table has the same indexes
2) For global indexes, only rebuild them at then end

Hi All,

Thanks for your reply... Is there anyother option since in my steps we need to select and load last one year data from revenue_bk it will take quite long time.. Any idea or other way of doing it will be great helpful. Thanks in advance..

John,
If we do rename revenue_bk then we have to create revenue again since all the jobs use revenue table and if we rename we need to recompile the jobs too. So anyother options?

In the end, I don't understand what you want.
Can you explain in details, what you currently have inline, you want to backup and what you want to keep inline.

Regards
Michel

Let me explain you with an example,

Currently Revenue had partition P01 to P12. let say we have records in P01 as Jan 2009 Jan 2010 and Jan 2011. Post our backup activity. We should have Jan 2010 and 2011 records in P01 of REVENUE table and all Jan 2009,2010 and 2011 records in REVENUE_BK P01 partition.

Sorry but bad partitioning sheme.
If you make a difference between years then years should be in different partitions.

It isn't a bad design to have "older" partitions containing more data than "newer" partitions. For example, the latest 12 months data are in monthly partitions, preceding 2 years data in quarterly partitions, preceding 3-8 years data in yearly partitions.

Such a design is part of a proper Information Lifecycle Management policy. Chapter 5 of the VLDB and Partitioning Guide in the Oracle Documentation covers this.

You can scroll down to the "Implementing an ILM System Manually" in Example 5-1 at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e16541/part_lifecycle.htm#CACEABBJ

What IS important is that you name the partitions more meaningfully. Your proposed partition names can be confusing when users/developers are looking at older data to compare with current data.

This is not the design you posted.

You posted that january of ALL years are in partition 1, february of ALL years are in partition 2 and so on.

Yes. He has to redesign his partitioning scheme properly.

So you cannot use partition exchange and have to use INSERT SELECT.
Hoppefully this can be done in APPEND PARALLEL mode.
