How add us partition on an existing table?

Hi gurus,

What would be the best way to add a partition to an existing table?

Is there a simple documentation for example?

Thank you

Was it something you were ask in an interview?

You cannot add a partition to a table unless this table is a partitioned table.

The table is already partitioned? If so, after the DDL.

The Oracle documentation has examples of adding partitions to a table that is already partitioned

Partition management

Adding Partitions

This section explains how to manually add partitions of a partitioned table and explains why partitions can be added specifically for partitioned more indexes.

Adding a Partition to a partitioned Table range

Use of the ALTER TABLE ... ADD PARTITION statement to add a new partition at the end 'high' (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.

    You get this error because your edit statement has an invalid syntax. In addition, you cannot partition a table that is not already configured for partitioning!

    You have to physically re-create the partitioned table in order to add new partitions to it.

    My_cluster (t_id) CLUSTER;

    And drop all the tables isn't really what I want to do.

    Thank you

    No,

    It is the reverse:

    A table can be stored as a segment of memory (the common way) or in a cluster.

    Will not be part of the table "in the cluster", but other parts outside.

    Please create a new table in the cluster and insert your data here.

  • I can add a column to an existing table with the data.

    Hello

    I'm working on

    I can add a column to an existing table that already has data with below given command.

    ALTER TABLE table_name

    Add to that:

    If your new column is NOT "null", you need the task in 3 steps:

    1. Add the column without a NOT NULL constraint
    2. the default value of the new column added.
    3. Add the NOT NULL constraint in the new column.

    The easiest way is to simply create a new table and INSERT the data into the it from the old table. You will need a window of failure for the operation. After the new table is filled you can rebuild the constraints and indexes, rename/move the original table and rename the new table to the old name.

    You can also export the table data and import it into a new partitioned table.

    The short answer is: ALL of the data needs to be moved to new segments. IF the existing data are old and ready to be archived then now is the time to do it. Simply move only the data in the new table.

    >
    You will need to create two new TYPEs. The one who has all the columns of the draw. The REQUESTOR table and the new column SCORE, then a TYPE which is an array of the first type.

    See example 12-22 using a Pipelined Table function for a Transformation in the PL/SQl language reference

    http://docs.Oracle.com/CD/B28359_01/AppDev.111/b28370/tuning.htm#i53120

    Here's the first part

    -- Define the ref cursor types and function
    CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE refcur_pkg IS
      TYPE refcur_t IS REF CURSOR RETURN employees%ROWTYPE;
      TYPE outrec_typ IS RECORD (
        var_num    NUMBER(6),
        var_char1  VARCHAR2(30),
        var_char2  VARCHAR2(30));
      TYPE outrecset IS TABLE OF outrec_typ;
     FUNCTION f_trans(p refcur_t)
          RETURN outrecset PIPELINED;
    END refcur_pkg;
    /
    
    CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY refcur_pkg IS
      FUNCTION f_trans(p refcur_t)
       RETURN outrecset PIPELINED IS
        out_rec outrec_typ;
        in_rec  p%ROWTYPE;
      BEGIN
    

    Change

      TYPE outrec_typ IS RECORD (
        var_num    NUMBER(6),
        var_char1  VARCHAR2(30),
        var_char2  VARCHAR2(30));
      TYPE outrecset IS TABLE OF outrec_typ;
    

    to include all the columns you need. Unfortunately, you have to manually list all the columns in the draw. The REQUESTOR table. If you think you need this same structure in other places you must create them as SQL types instead of PL/SQL types.

    This example should be enough to show you how to modify your code to do something similar.

  • Type logic Partition of an existing table

    Dear all,

    My database is 10gr 2 and Linux is the operating system.

    One of my table in the production database is huge and contains lots of data. Table is growing daily. There are many queries that users run on this table and the selection criteria is normally the date of entry of the registration, it's an Entrty_Date field with the date data type.

    I want a partition logical on this table in such a way, the table name remains the same, and data are logically partitioned.

    As if the Entry_Date is from 2005, a partition is made on criteria:


    2005-2006
    2006-2007
    .
    .
    2011
    . at the request of the user for records having entry date > 2011... the query is made only this piece of the table, which makes the fast query.

    I hope that I am able to make you understand my problem. If its possible in Oracle please let me know the name of the method and I'll RND on this one. And I have to do it on an existing table that contains a lot of data.

    Thank you

    Editing of existing playlist in Player 12 - great pain

    In previous versions of media player, I could drag a song to a windows explore Panel directly in a playlist. so adding media was a nod to a playlist. Now, you must open it in the game Panel, add media, and you MUST CREATE a NEW NAME FOR THE list of READING which is ABSURD! In other words you can not change the playlist, click SAVE, and the playlist that you work is registered. You should always create a NEW name. What I do is add a '1' to the old name, create the NEW name, and then I have to go back and remove the old list. Once again. It is ridiculously heavy. Can Microsoft fix this? Everyone is significant pain is?

    Original name? If you change an unregistered playlist, then it doesn't have a name yet. It is quite normal that you must enter a name when you click on save the list for the first time. The next time you save, you will not have to enter a name more (because then it's not playlist not registered).

  • Need to create the Partition in the history table

    Hello

    I have an audit table that stores the data for the last 8 years in it and the customer wants to retain the data for the last 8 years. Now as adding data to this table is increasing, there is a delay in execution of report which are acquired by querying on this table.

    Basically, they go a from date and to date. Then these date are compared with two columns of dates in the table. The condition of the query will be as below

    TRUNC (NVL (DATE1, DATE2)) > = TRUNC (TO_DATE (?, ' dd/mm/yyyy ""))

    AND TRUNC (NVL (DATE1, DATE2)) < = TRUNC (TO_DATE (?, ' dd/mm/yyyy ""))

    Users can query for any date range.

    I am thinking of creating a Partition of the range on this table for each month during the 8 years of data. Please suggest on the question of whether I should use partition interval range to make it more effective. And would also create an Index on this partition for the above two day columns.

    12 (months) SO * 8 (years) = 98 would be created partitions. This will not overload the schema of database/Tablespace? Y at - it another effective way to set the table.

    Please suggest and let me know for any clarification.

    There are 2 approaches (but not limited to 2) to create the Partition on an existing table:

    Note: There is no ALTER TABLE statement to convert a heap table to a partitioned table.

    1. create a temporary Partitioned table with the same types of data in the column. Take a dump of the original table (HEAP) export and import the dump into the newly created partitioned intermediate table. After checking the data file the original and rename the interim even as the original table.

    2 using the package Oracle DBMS_REDEFINITION automates the steps above from said (not exactly the same steps, however) and its done online - which means there is no required downtime, the original table may undergo DML operations during this process of redefinition. View partitioning of a table online with DBMS_REDEFINITION | Oracle instructor

    According to my understanding if let us know as a partition interval then in April if there is an inserted record then it will create a new partition for the month of April will be of value less than 30 April 2014 "and all other documents created in April will pass under it"

    Yes, it's a feature of 11g, which Oracle manages adding partitions as needed. In earlier versions DBA can add partitions manually from time to time. Reference www.gavinsoorma.com/2009/09/11g-interval-partitioning/

    Here the reason for check the sent_out_datetime NVL will be NULL for few records, so in this case we want to get the records for dates of mapping them to received_datetime

    In addition, try to replace the NVL with COALESCE and test it. This would help improve performance.

    Look for the [ALTER TABLE | http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28286/statements_3001.htm#sthref4803] command to find out how to add a column (step (1)) and a (step (3)) constraint to an existing table.
