Can I partition my primary key constraint index?

Oracle will automatically create an index for your primary key constraint.

I have a lot of large partitioned tables in my data warehouse. All of my primary key indexes are non-partitioned. I would like them to be partitioned.

When I drop the constraint and re-enable it, can I specify at that time that I want the index to be partitioned? Or do I need to drop my index and rebuild it to be partitioned after the fact?

Is there any problem with having partitioned primary key indexes?

Thanks,

Cherie
