We have that kind application running on the production and didn't have any
problem since it was deployed last Oct.. The application will truncate the
one of the table partitions which contains 99% of the data (about 7M
records) before reload the data every two weeks. For you situation, you can
truncate partition then drop it. It is easy, clean and quick.

Anyone have any problems dropping partitions that hold data?
We are debating the risk involved in dropping populated partitions
as opposed to purging the data out of them first and then dropping
them (a lot of work).
Theoretically, this should work o.k. but has anybody actually had
problems doing this?
