Clearly this hasn't happened ;)
But if the item shows up in dba_tab_partitions
then there is a data segment linked to the
partition.
Get the SQL from the view dba_tab_partitions,
you will see that the first section of the 3 unions
is for tabpart$, and it joins tabpart$ to seg$
on file#' and block#.
Clip out this bit of the sql, and select out
the file# and block# for the funny partition.
Then use those values to query the
file and block against dba_segments to
find out what data segment is actually
being referenced.

|Hi Jonathan,
| Oracle 8.1.7.0 on Solaris 2.8 (5.8 or just 8).
|
| It is a private synonym owned by the table owner.
|
| Strange indeed, there is no record of the partition
| in dba_segments. All the other partitions show up,
| (with the correct owner) and the app is still loading
| August data. Where is what I am wondering now?
|
| Sigh ....
|
| All I really need to know is what happens if
| I drop the underlying table, the synonym and
| recreate the synonym to point to a new table.
|
| Thanks for your assistance.
|
|Dave
