Partitioned oracle tables
Hi all, We have two partitioned tables, T1 and T2. T1 belongs to one user and has 8 partitions, 3 users have a table called T2 with 8 partitions. We are trying to : 1) Alter tables (T1,T2) drop all partitions 2) Take tablespaces holding the partitions offline 3) Drop tablespaces 4) drop users Trouble is in step step 1 for table T2 where we get a)ora 144083: cannot drop the only partition of a partitioned table b)ora 14404: partitioned table contains partitions in a different tablespace Can anyone try and explain to me the breakdown in my steps to get rid of the partitioning ?

Re: Partitioned oracle tables
If you want to drop ALL the partitions, then just drop the table (with the normal 'drop table xxx'). hth connor --- Simon Waibale [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all, We have two partitioned tables, T1 and T2.

Re: Partitioned oracle tables
Obviously, partitioned table needs to have at least one partition. Why don't you just try to drop the table, and then recreate it as non-partitioned (if that's, what you want).
