Bergman Precedence: bulk Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Good morning all Im experimenting with partitioning a table and do not understand the concept of the less than value Say I have a end_date date field 01-JAN-00 01-JAN-01 01-JAN-02 and I create a range partition (PARTITION SO00Q1 VALUES LESS THAN (TO_DATE('01-JAN-2000', 'DD-MON-YYYY')), PARTITION SO01Q1 VALUES LESS THAN (TO_DATE('01-JAN-2001', 'DD-MON-YYYY')), PARTITION SO02Q1 VALUES LESS THAN (TO_DATE('01-JAN-2002', 'DD-MON-YYYY'))... My mind is thinking SO00Q1 will have the desired < jan 2000 But SO01Q1 would have < jan 2001 and since the first partition is less than 2000 It would include what is in partition 1 And partition 2 would have 1 and 0 Between would make more sence to me How does the less than N work?
