hi all,

I have read this document on partitioning which says that partitioning
cannot be implemented in clusters.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------
I.2  Version 8:
---------------

Partitioning is offered as an option in Oracle V8 Enterprise Server 
Edition.  It is an option that requires specific selection during 
installation of the RDBMS that enables it to be linked into the kernel. 
This new option is useful in addressing performance problems and
database
administration issues in Very Large Database (VLDB) environments.  
Administrators of databases with historical data are particularly 
interested in this option.  Administrators of OLTP databases concerned 
the performance and/or availability also benefit with the implementation
of this option.

Advantages:

-  Improved database administration as several maintenance operations 
   can now be done at a partition level rather than at a table or index 
   level.  Moreover, the independence between partitions allows the 
   maintenance on those very partitions to take place simultaneously.
-  Database unavailability reduced.  Finer grained recovery as it can 
   be done at the partition level.
-  Better distribution of data as it is possible to spread it out on 
   several partitions and different disks.
-  Performance enhancement in the dispatching of queries, particularly 
   for data warehousing or decision making.  The optimizer is capable 
   of selecting a limited quantity of rows associated with one or 
   several partitions specified in the query.

This functionality is available for both indexes and tables, but cannot 
be implemented in clusters.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------

does this mean that we cannot implement partitioning with Parallel
server. It would be of great help in case you can clarify this point.

thanks,
Sathish.
