Hi all...

I'm messing around with partitioning, and trying to create a primary key 
index which is locally partition to match the underlying table.  Table 
looks something like this:

create table mytable (
id     number,
last   date)
tablespace data
storage (initial 64k next 64k pctincrease 0)
partition by range (last)
(partition lastq1_03 values less than(to_date('01-APR-2003','DD-MON-YYYY')),
 partition lastq2_03 values less than(to_date('01-JUL-2003','DD-MON-YYYY')),
 partition lastq3_03 values less than(to_date('01-OCT-2003','DD-MON-YYYY')),
 partition lastq4_03 values less than(to_date('01-JAN-2004','DD-MON-YYYY')))
enable row movement;

SQL> alter table mytable add primary key (id) using index 
tablespace "INDX" local enable;
alter table mytable add primary key (id) using index 
tablespace "INDX" local enable
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-14039: partitioning columns must form a subset of key columns of a 
UNIQUE index

Basically what Oracle is saying is hey, your table is partitioned on last, 
and you want to create a local index on id, no can do.  So how *DO* I do 
that, and for that matter, how do I manage with a foreign key constraint?

I've looked at the docs, but I really need a good example.  If anyone can 
point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,
Sean
