I've looked through the on-line documentation on dropping partitions
but I have not seen the following question specifically addressed:
How does dropping a date-range partition affect the rest of the
table/partitions? I read that if I drop a partition with a global
partitioned index that the entire global index will need to be
rebuilt but that's about all I've seen about the affect on the
other partitions.
Can I drop an unneeded partition on the fly? What is the
effect on performance of the rest of the table? Does anything
need to be brought offline before I drop the desired partition?
Thanks in advance to all you knowledgable partitioners.
