Re: Partitioned Primary Key - Oracle 8i

You have to distinguish what kind of partitioning you are using * global or local

if you are using local partitioning- you don't need to enter the partition bounds and the tablespaces
with global indexes you have to enter the partition bounds und the tablespaces

Despite this you can chabge the tablespaces afterwards. These operations can be performed online

You have miised the syntax for the statement completely. Please look it up in the administrators guide or in the sql reference manual.
