The global indexes can also be partitioned - using a different partition column or different ranges than the table partitions. The drawback with global indexes (partitioned or not) is that they become invalid when you do an exchange partition or drop partition. Personally I think local indexes are better. Though in Oracle 9.2 there's an option to say alter table ... exchange partition ... update global indexes ;
