This article uses simple examples to describe the partitioning enhancements in Oracle 11g Release 1.
In previous releases of Oracle, composite partitioning was limited to Range-Hash and Range-List partitioning. Oracle 11g Release 1 extends this to allow the following composite partitioning schemes:
The follow code provides an example of one of the new composite partitioning schemes. First we create a table with List-Hash composite partitioning.
CREATE TABLE list_hash_tab (
id NUMBER,
code VARCHAR2(10),
description VARCHAR2(50),
created_date DATE
)
PARTITION BY LIST (code)
SUBPARTITION BY HASH (id)
(
PARTITION part_aa values ('AA')
(
SUBPARTITION part_aa_01,
SUBPARTITION part_aa_02
),
partition part_bb values ('BB')
(
SUBPARTITION part_bb_01,
SUBPARTITION part_bb_02
)
);Next we populate it with some data, which we expect to be spread throughout the subpartitions.
DECLARE
l_code VARCHAR2(10);
BEGIN
FOR i IN 1 .. 40 LOOP
IF MOD(i, 2) = 0 THEN
l_code := 'BB';
ELSE
l_code := 'AA';
END IF;
INSERT INTO list_hash_tab (id, code, description, created_date)
VALUES (i, l_code, 'Description for ' || i || ' ' || l_code, SYSDATE);
END LOOP;
COMMIT;
END;
/
EXEC DBMS_STATS.gather_table_stats(USER, 'LIST_HASH_TAB', granularity=>'ALL');Finally, we query the USER_TAB_SUBPARTITIONS view to see if the data has been distributed across the subpartitions.
COLUMN table_name FORMAT A20 COLUMN partition_name FORMAT A20 COLUMN subpartition_name FORMAT A20 SELECT table_name, partition_name, subpartition_name, num_rows FROM user_tab_subpartitions ORDER by table_name, partition_name, subpartition_name; TABLE_NAME PARTITION_NAME SUBPARTITION_NAME NUM_ROWS -------------------- -------------------- -------------------- ---------- LIST_HASH_TAB PART_AA PART_AA_01 7 LIST_HASH_TAB PART_AA PART_AA_02 13 LIST_HASH_TAB PART_BB PART_BB_01 10 LIST_HASH_TAB PART_BB PART_BB_02 10 4 rows selected. SQL>
The query shows the data has been split into the two partitions based on the vale of the CODE column, then hashed between the subpartitions.
Interval partitioning is an extension of range partitioning, where the system is able to create new partitions as they are required. The PARTITION BY RANGE clause is used in the normal way to identify the transition point for the partition, then the new INTERVAL clause used to calculate the range for new partitions when the values go beyond the existing transition point.
The following code shows an example of a table using interval partitioning.
CREATE TABLE interval_tab (
id NUMBER,
code VARCHAR2(10),
description VARCHAR2(50),
created_date DATE
)
PARTITION BY RANGE (created_date)
INTERVAL (NUMTOYMINTERVAL(1,'MONTH'))
(
PARTITION part_01 values LESS THAN (TO_DATE('01-NOV-2007','DD-MON-YYYY'))
);Querying the USER_TAB_PARTITIONS view shows there is only a single partition.
EXEC DBMS_STATS.gather_table_stats(USER, 'INTERVAL_TAB');

SQL>The following restrictions apply to interval partitioned tables:
MAXVALUE partition cannot be defined for an interval partitioned table.
As you would expect, system partitioning allows large tables to be broken down into smaller partitions, but unlike other partitioning schemes, the database has no control over the placement of rows during insert operations. The following example shows the creation of a system partitioned table.
CREATE TABLE system_partitioned_tab ( id NUMBER, code VARCHAR2(10), description VARCHAR2(50), created_date DATE ) PARTITION BY SYSTEM ( PARTITION part_1, PARTITION part_2 );
The partition must be explicitly defined in all insert statements or an error is produced.
INSERT INTO system_partitioned_tab VALUES (1, 'ONE', 'One', SYSDATE);
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-14701: partition-extended name or bind variable must be used for DMLs on tables partitioned by

SQL>The PARTITION clause is used to define which partition the row should be placed in.
INSERT INTO system_partitioned_tab PARTITION (part_1) VALUES (1, 'ONE', 'One', SYSDATE); INSERT INTO system_partitioned_tab PARTITION (part_2) VALUES (2, 'TWO', 'Two', SYSDATE); COMMIT; EXEC DBMS_STATS.gather_table_stats(USER, 'SYSTEM_PARTITIONED_TAB'); COLUMN table_name FORMAT A25 COLUMN partition_name FORMAT A20 COLUMN high_value FORMAT A10 SELECT table_name, partition_name, high_value, num_rows FROM user_tab_partitions ORDER BY table_name, partition_name; TABLE_NAME PARTITION_NAME HIGH_VALUE NUM_ROWS ------------------------- -------------------- ---------- ---------- SYSTEM_PARTITIONED_TAB PART_1 1 SYSTEM_PARTITIONED_TAB PART_2 1 2 rows selected. SQL>
Notice that the HIGH_VALUE for the partitions is blank.
The PARTITION clause is optional for update and delete statements, but omitting this clause will force all partitions to be scanned, since there is no way perform automatic partition pruning when the database has no control over row placement. When the PARTITION clause is used, you must be sure to perform the operation against the correct partition.
SQL> DELETE FROM system_partitioned_tab PARTITION (part_2) WHERE id = 1; 0 rows deleted. SQL> UPDATE system_partitioned_tab PARTITION (part_1) SET code = 'TWO' WHERE id = 2; 0 rows deleted. SQL>
The PARTITION clause can also be used in queries to target specific partitions.

SQL>System partitioning gives you all the advantages partitioning, but leaves the decision of how the data is partitioned to the application layer.
Conditions and restrictions on system partitioning include:
PARTITION BY SYSTEM clause, but don't define partitions, a single partition is created with the name in the format of "SYS_Pn".
PARTITION BY SYSTEM PARTITIONS n clause, the database creates "n" partitions with the name in the format of "SYS_Pn". The range of allowable values for "n" is from 1 to 1024K-1.
CREATE TABLE ... AS SELECT statement.
Reference partitioning allows tables related by foreign keys to be logically equi-partitioned. The child table is partitioned using the same partitioning key as the parent table without having to duplicate the key columns. Partition maintenance operations performed on the parent table are reflected on the child table, but no partition maintenance operations are allowed on the child table.
The following code contains a partitioned parent table and a dependent reference partitioned child table.
CREATE TABLE parent_tab (
id NUMBER NOT NULL,
code VARCHAR2(10) NOT NULL,
description VARCHAR2(50),
created_date DATE,
CONSTRAINT parent_tab_pk PRIMARY KEY (id)
)
PARTITION BY RANGE (created_date)
(
PARTITION part_2007 VALUES LESS THAN (TO_DATE('01-JAN-2008','DD-MON-YYYY')),
PARTITION part_2008 VALUES LESS THAN (TO_DATE('01-JAN-2009','DD-MON-YYYY'))
);
CREATE TABLE child_tab (
id NUMBER NOT NULL,
parent_tab_id NUMBER NOT NULL,
code VARCHAR2(10),
description VARCHAR2(50),
created_date DATE,
CONSTRAINT child_tab_pk PRIMARY KEY (id),
CONSTRAINT child_parent_tab_fk FOREIGN KEY (parent_tab_id)
REFERENCES parent_tab (id)
)
PARTITION BY REFERENCE (child_parent_tab_fk);Child records that foreign key to rows in the first partition of the parent table should be placed in the first partition of the child table. So we insert two rows into the first partition and one row into the second of the parent table. We then insert three rows into the child table, with one foreign keyed to a row in the first partition and two foreign keyed to a row in the second partition of the master table.
INSERT INTO parent_tab VALUES (1, 'ONE', '1 ONE', SYSDATE); INSERT INTO parent_tab VALUES (2, 'TWO', '2 TWO', SYSDATE); INSERT INTO parent_tab VALUES (3, 'THREE', '3 THREE', ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,12)); INSERT INTO child_tab VALUES (1, 1, 'ONE', '1 1 ONE', SYSDATE); INSERT INTO child_tab VALUES (2, 3, 'TWO', '2 3 TWO', SYSDATE); INSERT INTO child_tab VALUES (3, 3, 'THREE', '3 3 THREE', SYSDATE); COMMIT; EXEC DBMS_STATS.gather_table_stats(USER, 'PARENT_TAB'); EXEC DBMS_STATS.gather_table_stats(USER, 'CHILD_TAB');
We now expect the parent table to have 2 records in the 2007 partition and 1 in the 2008 partition, while the child table should have 1 row in the 2007 partition and 2 rows in the 2008 partition. The following query confirms out expectation.
COLUMN table_name FORMAT A25
COLUMN partition_name FORMAT A20
COLUMN high_value FORMAT A40
SELECT table_name, partition_name, high_value, num_rows
FROM user_tab_partitions

SQL>The following conditions and restrictions apply to reference partitioning:
ENABLE VALIDATE NOT DEFERRABLE state (the default) and refer to a primary or unique key on the parent table.
ON DELETE SET NULL clause.
ROW MOVEMENT setting for both tables must match.
CREATE TABLE ... AS SELECT statement. Oracle 11g supports the concept of virtual columns on tables. These virtual columns are not physically stored in the table, but derived from data in the table. These virtual columns can be used in the partition key in all basic partitioning schemes. The example below creates a table that is list partitioned on a virtual column that represents the first letter in the username column of the table.
CREATE TABLE users (
id NUMBER,
username VARCHAR2(20),
first_letter VARCHAR2(1)
GENERATED ALWAYS AS
(
UPPER(SUBSTR(TRIM(username), 1, 1))
) VIRTUAL
)
PARTITION BY LIST (first_letter)
(
PARTITION part_a_g VALUES ('A','B','C','D','E','F','G'),
PARTITION part_h_n VALUES ('H','I','J','K','L','M','N'),
PARTITION part_o_u VALUES ('O','P','Q','R','S','T','U'),
PARTITION part_v_z VALUES ('V','W','X','Y','Z')
);The following code inserts two rows into each partition defined in the table.
INSERT INTO users (id, username) VALUES (1, 'Andy Pandy'); INSERT INTO users (id, username) VALUES (1, 'Burty Basset'); INSERT INTO users (id, username) VALUES (1, 'Harry Hill'); INSERT INTO users (id, username) VALUES (1, 'Iggy Pop'); INSERT INTO users (id, username) VALUES (1, 'Oliver Hardy'); INSERT INTO users (id, username) VALUES (1, 'Peter Pervis'); INSERT INTO users (id, username) VALUES (1, 'Veruca Salt'); INSERT INTO users (id, username) VALUES (1, 'Wiley Cyote'); COMMIT; EXEC DBMS_STATS.gather_table_stats(USER, 'USERS');

Oracle 11g allows single table partitions to be transported between databases, rather than requiring the whole table to be transported. To show this in action we need to create two tablespaces to hold the table partitions and give the test use a quota on these tablespaces.
CONN sys/password@db11g AS SYSDBA CREATE TABLESPACE transport_test_ts_1 DATAFILE '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/DB11G/tt_ts_1' SIZE 128K AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 128K; CREATE TABLESPACE transport_test_ts_2 DATAFILE '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/DB11G/tt_ts_2' SIZE 128K AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 128K; ALTER USER test QUOTA UNLIMITED ON transport_test_ts_1 QUOTA UNLIMITED ON transport_test_ts_2; CONN test/test@db11g
Next, we create and populate a test partitioned table.
CREATE TABLE transport_test_tab (
id NUMBER NOT NULL,
code VARCHAR2(10) NOT NULL,
description VARCHAR2(50),
created_date DATE,
CONSTRAINT transport_test_pk PRIMARY KEY (id)
)
PARTITION BY RANGE (created_date)

PARTITION part_2007 VALUES LESS THAN (TO_DATE('01-JAN-2008','DD-MON-YYYY'))

PARTITION part_2008 VALUES LESS THAN (TO_DATE('01-JAN-2009','DD-MON-YYYY'))
TABLESPACE transport_test_ts_2
);
INSERT INTO transport_test_tab VALUES (1, 'ONE', '1 ONE', SYSDATE);
INSERT INTO transport_test_tab VALUES (2, 'TWO', '2 TWO', SYSDATE);
INSERT INTO transport_test_tab VALUES (3, 'THREE', '3 THREE', ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,12));
INSERT INTO transport_test_tab VALUES (4, 'FOUR', '4 FOUR', ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,12));
COMMIT;
EXEC DBMS_STATS.gather_table_stats(USER, 'TRANSPORT_TEST_TAB');The following query shows that each partition is on a separate tablespace and contains some data.

Any tablespaces we wish to transport must be made read only.
CONN sys/password@db11g AS SYSDBA ALTER TABLESPACE transport_test_ts_1 READ ONLY;
When we perform the data pump export, we can specify the individual partition we wish to export using the following syntax.
tables=schema.table:partition transportable=always
Notice the ":partition" section of the TABLES parameter. The TRANSPORTABLE parameter indicates that we wish to capture just the metadata for the partiton.
We can now run the Data Pump export using the following command.
expdp system/password tables=test.transport_test_tab:part_2007 transportable=always directory=data_pump_dir dumpfile=part_2007.dmp

The , originally introduced in Oracle 10g, has been updated to include advice on partitioning existing tables, materialized views and indexes. Partitioning exiting tables can be quite a lengthy process, so don't expect this advice to provide a quick fix.
Oracle 11g includes improvements to statistics collection for partitioned objects so untouched partitions are not rescanned. This significantly increases the speed of statistics collection on large tables where some of the partitions contain static data. Where partition exchange load (PEL) is used to add data to the a table, only the newly added partition must be scanned to update the global statistics.
