Row Movement in paritioned tables

Hi

I admit I havent done enough research on this, so pardon me if I should have found this out myself.

I know Oracle does row movement on partitioned tables when the values on the key changes such that it warrants movement to a new partition.

My question is , can I some how use this mechanism to let Oracle automatically move data to a designated partition.

The underlying business requirement is to Identify and move inactive data to be purged at a later date.

So I ws thinking if I can move use Oracle's internal mechanism to move the data to a partition named "INACTIVE" , I have greater flexibillity in droppping partition when the data is up for purge etc..

Thanks
Suresh
