Re: Oracle Internet File System -- Oracle Taketh Away?

An interesting feature of partition views in Oracle 9.

If you create a thing that matches the requirement for an old v7 partition view, and set the parameter

    partition_views_enabled = FALSE

You still find that partition elimination can occur, better than it used to in v7, and the execution plan will have the line VIEW (PARTITION) just like the good old days.

So in this case, partition views seem to be deprecated because they aren't special any more. (But roll on v10)

• Original Message -----

The Oracle readme files for quite a while have mentioned the demise of partition views and encouraged uses of such to move to the partitioning option. I had always wondered if when the view support was pulled whether the option would then be free. My assumption was that it would. Now I am very unsure.
