We tried on one of out most active OLTP table, turns out there is bug in 9202 with dbms_stats and not being able to maintain global level, partition level stats correctly in some circumstances. So, we went back to regular table.

We have a table which is about 8GB with about 8 billion records. We add deltas to the file daily(inserts,updates,deletes). We are considering paritioning this table so we can use parallel DML. We are considering partitioning on the primary key to about 10-20 partitions.=20 Has anyone used hash sub-partitioning? What are your experiences with that? I'd like to have granularity smaller than 400-800 MB per partition.=20 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to: oracle-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put 'unsubscribe' in the subject line. -- Archives are at //www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/ FAQ is at //www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/1.html ----------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to: oracle-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put 'unsubscribe' in the subject line. -- Archives are at //www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/ FAQ is at //www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/1.html -----------------------------------------------------------------
