Jun,
Thanks for your reply. We are considering truncating the
partitions first. Our main issue is recoverability. Not so
much if we can't recover a partition that we want to get rid
of but rather if we accidentally truncate a partition that we
want to keep. Just trying to cover all our bases.
Probably we will use the truncate command first. We'll
just have to have someone proofread the script first.

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?
