Hi,
Nothing too do with ASM, if properly licensed should work fine.

Subject: ASM and partitioning

Hallo all,

we recently suggested to one of our clients to use table partitioning in order 
to make deleting old stuff from a large table faster.

The partition would have been a range partition over a DATE column. We only 
keep the last 6 months of data in that table and dropping a partition is much 
faster than deleting 10% of a table with ~50 million rows.

Now the (outsourced) DBA of the customer claimed that partitioning is not 
possible when using ASM (which the production system is using).
The production system is a two node RAC running 11.2.0.3 on Oracle Linux (don't 
know the exact OS version though)

I'm pretty sure that this is a wrong statement, but just wanted to confirm this.

So: is there any (technical) limitation to table partitioning when using ASM on 
a RAC system? (licensing is not issue)

Thanks in advance
Thomas
