11.2.0.3 I am not using interval partitions. I have a maxvalue partition and do a split. I can't use intervals. Oracle only allows up to 1 million partitions from the root partition. I partition by hour with either 16-32 hash sub-partitions. So I will run out of allowable partitions in either 3.5 years or 7 years. The odds of someone remembering to rebuild the table is pretty low. This was tested. The above is just background in case people tell me the solution in intervals. I have a job that runs hourly that splits the maxvalue partitions. All 4 of my partition tables have 1 local index. I have noticed that when I split the tables with a hash sub-partition they go to N/A status, so I need to rebuild them, when I split indexes on tables that do not have sub-partitions . I have tried using the 'update global indexes'. This does not seem to work on the local indexes. Is there an 'update local indexes' clause? What is interesting is that when I do a split, there is no data in the maxvalue partition. I can always add 'rebuild online'. Ill have to check if I have to rebuild each hash sub-partition. -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
