Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Partition Question
nice articles.
one more thing: Everyone who has ever asked me to put up a 12 component cyclical based on month really wanted at least 13, and usually 16 (which is 5 complete rolling quarters plus a place for the newest inserts.)
By making each component its own tablespace or two (where component may refer to several periodically cycled table and index partitions), you can also have the luxury of making components read only and taking them off line or relegating them to read only media for reference. With one a month, there is a good chance that Oracle will stay ahead of you with the practical limits for reasonable processing on the number of partitions.
You may also want to join the voting pool that would like Oracle to be able to efficiently assemble global indexes from indexes local to a partition, so that if you have cross partition access needs, you'll have a reasonable way attack them.

Hi Hamid,
this sounds like range partitioning to me ...
if you say you want to always have 12 partitions,
I am getting a little bit "nervous" --
I guess you mean that you want to add a new partition each time,
while dropping one partition at the end, right?
in other words, you don't "reuse" partitions.

Kind regards,
Lex.
