On a partitioned table you can create either global (normal) indexes or local (partitioned) indexes. There are advantages and disadvantages to each, but you could start with normal indexes and then switch to partitioned indexes as you find the need.

Dear List,

I have a table which partitioned on date range & This table has 10 indexes on it I just wondered do I have to Partitioned all the 10 indexes or NOT? Example:

Create table test(col1 number,col2 number,col3 number,col4 date) tablespace data
partition by range(col4)
( partition part1 VALUES LESS THAN (TO_DATE(' 2003-12-30 00:00:00')) ,
(partition part2 VALUES LESS THAN (TO_DATE(' 2004-12-30 00:00:00'))

can the indexes be like this:

create index idx_1 on test(col2)
tablespace users
OR

I have to create all the indexes as partition index?

Appreciate your help

Thanks,

Hamid Alavi
