Peter,

    I've not had very good luck with hash partitioning either, but range works
damn nicely both from a data insertion/update and query point of view.  CBO also
runs very consistently.

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 query is
run against large data sets.

In short, if you only care about getting data into a
partition use hash partitioning.  If some day you want
to get data out you may want to look at another
solution.  Range partitioning might work depending on
your data.  Disk striping might work but consistently
getting the right data to the right stipe is tricky
business.
