Bergman Precedence: bulk Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit No generic (oracle-provided) procedures. I wrote two scripts (stored procedures), scheduled to run every day. First one ("add_partitions") checks if partitions for CURRENT and NEXT month exist, and if not - it creates them. Second ("drop_partitions") checks the amount of free space in the tablespace, and if it's below some threshold, it drops the oldest partitions (keeping in mind referential integrity between tables involved).
