Hi,
Nothing too do with ASM, if properly licensed should work fine.

Subject: ASM and partitioning
Hallo all,
we recently suggested to one of our clients to use table partitioning in order to make deleting old stuff from a large table faster.
The partition would have been a range partition over a DATE column. We only keep the last 6 months of data in that table and dropping a partition is much faster than deleting 10% of a table with ~50 million rows.
Now the (outsourced) DBA of the customer claimed that partitioning is not possible when using ASM (which the production system is using). The production system is a two node RAC running 11.2.0.3 on Oracle Linux (don't know the exact OS version though)
I'm pretty sure that this is a wrong statement, but just wanted to confirm this.
So: is there any (technical) limitation to table partitioning when using ASM on a RAC system? (licensing is not issue)
Thanks in advance
Thomas
