I wouldn't really expect to get any significant benefit from partition elimination when using hash partitions. In fact, apart from the administrative convenience, I think the only benefit is likely to come from partition wise joins using partition iterators. Can you give us any details of the

You can get significant benefit from hash partitioning if you have 2 or more tables that are equi-partitioned. The benefit comes when you join the tables together -- you get partition-wise joining! In effect, you perform multiple small table joins instead of 1 join of 2 large tables! This works fo

As we have discovered, hash partitioning does not always give you partition elimination nor does CBO always work as expected. One of our DBAs has a tar open with Oracle on this issue and we are finding that no one appears to understand the complete ramifications of using hash partitions when a que

I'm not sure what your trying to accomplish. You get one insert for one record. Which partition is used depends on how you set them up. If your wanting the partitions to be used in a circular fashion I believe that is accomplished with a hash partition and you get to create the hashing method.

John, First question, how do you know that your application is rule based? Most application scan be switched to cost optimization with no changes, although I will admit performance sometimes goes south. I prefer to set the database to 'choose' mode which allows the best of both worlds. Dic
