要使用ALTER TABLE，您需要获得表的ALTER, INSERT和CREATE权限

CREATE TABLE t1 (
    id INT,
    year_col INT
)
PARTITION BY RANGE (year_col) (
    PARTITION p0 VALUES LESS THAN (1991),
    PARTITION p1 VALUES LESS THAN (1995),
    PARTITION p2 VALUES LESS THAN (1999)
);    
ALTER TABLE t1 ADD PARTITION p3 VALUES LESS THAN (2002);不能在没有分区的表上添加 新的分区
ALTER TABLE t2 ADD INDEX (d), ADD INDEX (a);添加索引
