Re: Partitions each in a separate tablespace ?

Dear Djordje,
I haven't applied Oracle's partitioning features in my dbs, in case there is no need, But if I were you -it is a wish really- I would do like that According to you systems' disk configuration create some tablespaces each on different disk or disk set, user composite partioning for that table and put historical and active partition(s) in different rage partitions.one contains Historical data have all hash sub-partitions on the same tablespace, those of the other(s) active partition(s) share all remaining tablespaces gaining management and performance improvements.

I hope I can explain my suggestion, because my english is not quite good ;)

Good luck
