We have a
partitioned table here that has been left for sometime now and we need to
split up the last partition into at least 6 to 7 resized
partitions.
My take on it
after RTFM ing was to
1) Unload the
data
2) Create my new
tablespaces for the new partitions
3) Split the last
partition
4) Repeat point 3
until I have my relevant number of smaller partitions
5) Create my local
indexes for new partitions
6) Reload the
data
This "looked" OK
but now I am rethinking this. The problem is that the last partition
tablespace will still be massive, so I really need to drop the last partition,
and its tablespace and recreate. Is this feasible ?? Can you drop the last
partition in a table (therefore leaving the second from last without a
MAXVALUE).
Regards (and
confused)
