Hi,

I am wondering if there is any way to achieve horizontal partitioning in Oracle.

Assuming that I have about 8 partitions for a table.When there is INSERT onto this table I want one record to be inserted into each partition i.e
1st record goes into partition 1
2nd record goes into partition 2
3rd record goes into partition 3
.....
.....

8th record goes into partition 8
9th record goes into partition 1.

I guess this feature is available in Informix handled by The informix engine.I am not sure if Oracle has something similiar to this OR is it possible to design a logic and embede it ,but what would be the performance effect?

Any thoughts or similiar ideas Received on Wed Mar 19 2003 - 13:00:43 CST
