I don't think partitions are clearly documented anywhere. Here is some SQL
that works so you can see how to use a date function. It partitions on two
columns, but I wanted you to see something that works.
add partition sum_fy_28
values less than ('FY', to_date('02012003','mmddyyyy'))
tablespace data_fy_28

Dear List,
I have a table of size approx 10gig, and I need to partition based on the
YEAR. I have column in the table, REPORT_CYCLE_CD with VARCHAR2(7). The
data in the column of format "MONYYYY" . I need to partition the table based
on the year YYYY, that is, substr(report_cycle_cd, 4,4).
Substr function doesn't seem to be permitted in the partitioning syntax and
so am getting errors. Only TO_DATE function seems to be permitted. Since it
is not a date column, I would like to know if there is a way to RANGE
partition the table, instead of HASH partitioning.
Appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks,
-- Babu
