Joe,
My thought exactly. Normally we think of partitioning in a linear fashion,
namely one table broken up into pieces that should stack one on top of the
other. But two dimension partitioning is possible using the multi-key method.
Only problem that I'm aware of, through 8.1.6 is that you cannot have a default
partition.

Hello,
Oracle 8.1.7 on Sun Solaris
Scenario: We have a table where we store the consolidated weekly numbers on
the number of disconnects, reconnects, transfers etc. Our business week is
from Wednesday to Tuesday and so each week has a number assigned to it.
Also, the week doesn't span across months. So we have a total of 63 weeks
for 2001. The table stucture is as follows:
activity_year number(4),
week_num number(2),
company_code varchar2(10),
channel_code varchar2(20),
spectrum_code varchar2(4),
subscriber_code varchar2(6),
bop number(10),
initial_add number(10),
volun_disc number(10),
involun_disc number(10).....
I need to partition this table in such a way that the data for a given year
and week number should go to a specific partition. Searched Metalink and
Oracle docs but didn't get an answer.
Is there a way to accomplish this without adding a date column to this
table?
TIA
Prakash
