Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Hello, Cherie, Short note first - when you drop primary key the associated index will be dropped too. To partition the index you will create this index first and then alter table add constraint primary key(); HTH Vadim Gorbounov Brainbench Master Oracle DBA www.brainbench.com -----Original Message----- Sent: Friday, May 11, 2001 4:51 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Oracle will automatically create an index for your primary key constraint. I have a lot of large partitioned tables in my data warehouse. All of my primary key indexes are non-partitioned. I would like them to be partitioned. When I drop the constraint and re-enable it, can I specify at that time that I want the index to be partitioned? Or do I need to drop my index and rebuild it to be partitioned after the fact? Is there any problem with having partitioned primary key indexes?
