Mark, Are you sure you have all the partitions in-between the Min and Max and that they're defined so that no dates could fall through a crack? Just a thought. Jack C. Applewhite Austin I.S.D. "Brady, Mark" <Mark.Brady@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent by: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 08/30/2007 04:17 PM Please respond to Mark.Brady@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To <oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> cc Subject Inserts into Partitioned Table fail with Ora-14400 We’re inserting records via SQL*Loader into a 9.2.0.6. The table is Range Partitioned. The last partition is defined as Maxvalue. If you have a maxvalue partition it should not be possible to see Record 8: Rejected - Error on table LEAVES. ORA-14400: inserted partition key does not map to any partition But every record fails. MaxValue should be just like an “else”, right? And the docs say that Nulls go to maxvalue partitions. Either the value is less than some partition we defined or less than maxvalue but it’s not unmappable. What am I missing? Thanks, Mark Brady
