Hello, If you please have some advice. I have standard edition 11.2.0.3 and I have view, like a primitive partitioning This is an old topic https://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:21547067945222 buty maybe there is a new trick on 11g. the view is like view a is select date,* from table_01ene1990_01ene2000 union all select date,* from table_02ene2000_01ene2010 union all select date,* from table_02ene2010_today I will like to know if there is some trick to get only access to the table, where the date is, In some situations I did it using a function table, the function table only query the specific table. But in other, like joinings I can't do that. The only I remember from oracle 7 an option I saw was outdated. Thank you.
