The unique key did include the partitioning key. Here is my example (Oracle 8.1.7.2.1 on Windows 2000)

SQL> create table country (country_founded date, country_name varchar2 (30))

2 partition by range (country_founded)
3 (partition country_p1 values less than (to_date ('+15000101', 'SYYYYMMDD')),
4 partition country_p2 values less than (maxvalue) 5 ) ;
Table créée.

SQL> insert into country (country_founded, country_name) 2 values (to_date ('12910801', 'YYYYMMDD'), 'Switzerland') ; 1 ligne créée.

SQL> insert into country (country_founded, country_name) 2 values (to_date ('17760704', 'YYYYMMDD'), 'United States of America') ; 1 ligne créée.

SQL> commit ;
Validation effectuée.

SQL> alter table country add (constraint country_uq1 unique (country_founded) disable validate) ;
Table modifiée.

SQL> create table country_temp (country_founded date, country_name varchar2 (30)) ;
Table créée.

SQL> insert into country_temp (country_founded, country_name) 2 values (to_date ('19600820', 'YYYYMMDD'), 'Senegal') ; 1 ligne créée.

SQL> commit ;
Validation effectuée.

SQL> alter table country exchange partition country_p2 with table country_temp ;
alter table country exchange partition country_p2 with table country_temp *
ERREUR à la ligne 1 :
ORA-25132: contrainte UNIQUE (JRK.COUNTRY_UQ1) désactivée et validée dans ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE
PARTITION SQL> alter table country exchange partition country_p2 with table country_temp
2 without validation ;
alter table country exchange partition country_p2 with table country_temp *
ERREUR à la ligne 1 :
ORA-25132: contrainte UNIQUE (JRK.COUNTRY_UQ1) désactivée et validée dans ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE
PARTITION
