To break up the size of the table so that each partition has a size less than X GB? To make sure that each portion of a local partitioned index has a lower blevel? To make maintenance operations more manageable because you can do things (like moving to a different tablespace) a single partition at a time? To be able to use parallelism and spread the work across several disks on bulk loads? Because you've paid for the feature and you figure that it would be a shame not to use it? > -----Original Message----- > thump604@comcast.net > > How does one determine the optimal number of partitions when > setting up a hash partitioned table? > -David ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to: oracle-l-request@freelists.org put 'unsubscribe' in the subject line. -- Archives are at http://www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/ FAQ is at http://www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/1.html -----------------------------------------------------------------
