Name Null? Type
------------------------------- -------- ----
HOSTKEY NOT NULL TIMESTAMP(4)
CLAIMID NOT NULL RAW(32)
TRANSMITTIME NOT NULL TIMESTAMP(4)
WHERE
HOSTKEY PK/FK
CLAIMID PK/FK
TRANSMITTIME REGULAR COLUMN
MY INDEX:
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX idxAK_ClaimTrack2 ON tbl_ClaimTrack
(HostKey,ClaimID,TransmitTime)
GLOBAL PARTITION BY RANGE(TramsmitTime)
(PARTITION D0200201
VALUES LESS THAN(TO_DATE('FEB-2002','MON-YYYY')),
PARTITION D0200202
VALUES LESS THAN(TO_DATE('MAR-2002','MON-YYYY')),
PARTITION D0200212 VALUES LESS THAN(MAXVALUE));
ERROR:

Hi,
Global non-prefixed indexes are not supported by Oracle. This means that the index partitioning key must always be the leftmost index column. Anything else will raise ORA-14038. If you wish the index key to be different to the partition key i.e. a non prefixed index, then the index must be created a Local index.
In your query, the index columns are (HostKey,ClaimID,TransmitTime) and the partition key is (TramsmitTime).
Error: ORA-14038
Text: GLOBAL partitioned index must be prefixed
Cause: User attempted to create a GLOBAL non-prefixed partitioned index which is illegal.
Action: If the user, indeed, desired to create a non-prefixed index, it must be created as LOCAL; otherwise, correct the list of key and/or partitioning columns to ensure that the index is prefixed.
Hope it helps.

Frank:
Can you give me an example!!
Maybe i am not understanding it correctly..
But i tried changing the order of my index columns and making TranmitTime as my leftmost index column.. But it still gives me the same error..
I TRIED:
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX idxAK_ClaimTrack2 ON tbl_ClaimTrack
(TransmitTime,HostKey,ClaimID)
GLOBAL PARTITION BY RANGE(TramsmitTime)
(PARTITION D0200201
VALUES LESS THAN(TO_DATE('FEB-2002','MON-YYYY')),
PARTITION D0200212 VALUES LESS THAN(MAXVALUE));
SAME ERROR..
I cannot use a LOCAL INDEX BECAUSE.. Oracle doesn't support partitioning in the LOCAL indexes..
