Use the ALTER TABLE ADD PARTITION statement to add a new partition to the "high" end (the point after the last existing partition). To add a partition at the beginning or in the middle of a table, use the SPLIT PARTITION clause.
ORA-14097: column type or size mismatch in ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE PARTITION Cause: The corresponding columns in the tables specified in the ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE PARTITION are of different type or size Action: Ensure that the two tables have the same number of columns with the same type and size.
You cannot explicitly add a partition to an interval-partitioned table. The database automatically creates a partition for an interval when data for that interval is inserted.
Range partitioning is a convenient method for partitioning historical data. The boundaries of range partitions define the ordering of the partitions in the tables or indexes. Interval partitioning is an extension to range partitioning in which, beyond a point in time, partitions are defined by an interval.
Subpartitioning—also known as composite partitioning—is the further division of each partition in a partitioned table.
Use the ALTER TABLE ADD PARTITION statement to add a new partition to the "high" end (the point after the last existing partition). To add a partition at the beginning or in the middle of a table, use the SPLIT PARTITION clause.
ALL_TAB_SUBPARTITIONS displays, for each table subpartition accessible to the current user, the subpartition name, name of the table and partition to which it belongs, its storage attributes, and statistics generated by the DBMS_STATS package.
Oracle Partitioning offers several partitioning strategies that control how the database places data into partitions. The basic strategies are range, list, and hash partitioning.
