An interesting feature of partition views
in Oracle 9.
If you create a thing that matches the requirement
for an old v7 partition view, and set the parameter
partition_views_enabled = FALSE
You still find that partition elimination can occur,
better than it used to in v7, and the execution
plan will have the line VIEW (PARTITION) just
like the good old days.
So in this case, partition views seem to be
deprecated because they aren't special any
more. (But roll on v10)

----- Original Message -----
The Oracle readme files for quite a while have mentioned the demise of
partition views and encouraged uses of such to move to the
partitioning option. I had always wondered if when the view support
was pulled whether the option would then be free. My assumption was
that it would. Now I am very unsure.
