Re: PARTITION attache to SYNONYM

Which version of Oracle ?
I got a 600 error when trying to create a partition when using a public synonym instead of the table_name on 8.1.7.0

Have a look in dba_segments for segment_name = 'your table name' and segment_name = 'your synonym', check especially the OWNER in case something very strange has happened.

|Hi All,
| Wondering if anyone has seen anything like this. I have
|filed a TAR.
|
| When adding next month's partition to a table a synonym was
| used accidently. However, the partition was created and shows
| up in dba_tab_partitions. However, I cannot modify of drop the
| partition.
|
| ALTER TABLE synonym_name drop PARTITION partition_name;
| returns no such table
|
| ALTER TABLE table_name drop PARTITION partition_name;
| returns no such partition.
|
| I have built another structure to hold the data but does anyone
| know the consequences if I dorp the ysnonym.
|
|TIA
|Dave
