>>>So,We're taking the leap from 8.0.6 to 8.1.7.  For
various reasons, we will beusing the export/import method of migration.Since I'll have the DB all to myself for the weekend, I want to alsopartition most of our larger tables (1M-7M rows each -- it's not a huge DB)in the migration.  My plan to precreate the tables was

to:    1)    Export 
DB.    2)    Create new 8.1.7 
DB.    3)    Create 

tablespaces.    4)    Create partitioned tables.    5)    Import
DB.    (I've left out many migration steps not pertinent to this question)Obviously, step 4 can't go before step 5, as step 5 creates the schemas.So, my questions:  Has anyone precreated tables before a full import on aclean DB?  Did you just manually precreate the schemas?  How does the importdeal with this (e.g. the DESTROY arg for imp)?  Or would it be OK to skipstep 4 and delete/rebuild the tables to be partitioned after the import hadrebuilt them?  I would prefer not to do the latter, seeing as this will bethe first time in three years that the TSs will be nice and contiguous.  :)Also, for brevity, we won't be going LMT for most of our TSs.  Need too muchtime to plan for that...  :(TIA!Rich
