Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: Another partitioning question
I've never done partitioning but I've got an idea. What about adding a
column to hold a value of what partition you want to be in (P1-P6),
then populate that with a pre-insert trigger with whatever logic you
want...?
It's probably a naive idea, but I'm sure I'll learn from the list... :-)
