Hi,

While trying partition exchange feature of Oracle with 2 hash partitioned tables, I come to know that I can't directly exchange partitions between 2 partitioned tables Sad

I have two hash partitioned tables , so to move partition data from one table to another will include-

1) Exchange from partitioned table to non-partitioned table.
2) exchange from non-partitioned table to new partitioned table.

But I am not sure in which hash partition my data will go in new partitioned table (data need to be moved has single key value on basis of which tables are partitioned), please help.


Thank you!!

Hash partitioning gives you a random distribution of rows between partitions. Exchanging a partition would be senseless. What do you actually want to do?

It was just a question in my mind.

In actual I want to take backup of partitions of a list partitioned table for performance improvement. For that I have to convert my hash partitioned table to list partitioned table first.

My question is, moving partition of list partitioned table to backup table (emptying partition), will make the performance of select query better anyhow (select query is using locally partitioned index)?

[EDIT]
One more thing to add, if there is only one key value (on the basis of which partitioning has been done) per partition in my hash table and most of the indexes [4/6] are locally partitioned.

Thank you.
