Very interesting.

Really it is so currently, but it wasn't so always.

In the Oracle 10.2 Documentation with part number B14237-02 which is
the version where your link point to 1024K-1 is documented.
I'm already using the 10.2 Documentation with part number B14237-01
(belongs to 10.2.0.1) - in this version 64K-1 is documented.
Needless to say I've never touched those values - thousands of
partitions yes, but never reached a number with more than 4 cyphers.

It seems Oracle introduces features without the promotion possibilities
of a new Version. Thus I should update my Documentation more often,
not only for a new Version cypher directly after the first dot but every time
the part number changes.

thank you
