We have a
partitioned table here that has been left for sometime now and we need to split
up the last partition into at least 6 to 7 resized
partitions.
My take on it after
RTFM ing was to
1) Unload the
data
2) Create my new
tablespaces for the new partitions
3) Split the last
partition
4) Repeat point 3
until I have my relevant number of smaller partitions
5) Create my local
indexes for new partitions
6) Reload the
data
This "looked" OK but
now I am rethinking this. The problem is that the last partition tablespace will
still be massive, so I really need to drop the last partition, and its
tablespace and recreate. Is this feasible ?? Can you drop the last partition in
a table (therefore leaving the second from last without a
MAXVALUE).
Regards (and
confused)
