Or (same logic):

SQL> create table AUDIT_LOG
 2 (

 3          TRANSACTION_DATE DATE,
 4          TRANSACTION_DAY NUMBER

 5 )
 6 PARTITION BY RANGE (TRANSACTION_DAY)  7 (

 8          PARTITION P1 VALUES LESS THAN (2),
 9          PARTITION P2 VALUES LESS THAN (3),
10          PARTITION P3 VALUES LESS THAN (4),
11          PARTITION P4 VALUES LESS THAN (5),
12          PARTITION P5 VALUES LESS THAN (6),
13          PARTITION P6 VALUES LESS THAN (7),
14          PARTITION P7 VALUES LESS THAN (8)

15 )
16 /

Table created.
