Adding a partition does not invalidate the index, though... Only =
operations
that drop partitions with data (in versions pre-9i) will invalidate a =
global
index. (local indexes *should* not be invalidated by partition drops,
although we ran into a bug that made it so..)
You do not need to create a new global index when you add a new =
partition.=20

Thiagoo,

It will help to know the DB Version.=20

From 9i I think there is a Way to Maintain Global Indexes as part of
Partition Maintenance.
