I would say that you might still want an index. However, do you
want a partitioned index (local or global). Kind of hard for us to answer
without
knowing the usage pattern. But partitioning a table is not the end
all be all solution. The basic tuning principals still apply.
They just apply to a smaller section of data now.

Hi all,
So there I am, partitioning a 7M+ row table by FISCAL_YEAR. There is
currently an index on FISCAL_YEAR that I had planned to drop, but I can't
seem to find anything to back up my assumption that the index would no
longer be needed, and would in fact slow down access to the table. I've
done some explain plan comparisons that look good to me, but I'd like some
outside force to say "Yay", "Nay", or "RTFM in the Oracle yadda-yadda for
8.1.7".
Anyone?
