Hello Oracle-L

Oracle DB : 10.2.0.4
OS            : IBM AIX
DB SIZE     : 5TB
Table Size : 600GB
Application : Baking System - OLTP. Busy system.

I have to RANGE partition on date field. Looking at the size of the table,
I am confused which method to follow. In the past I have performed
using DBMS_REDEFINITION and IMP-EXP feature for small tables i.e. <50GB.
This time, I am worried by looking at the size of the table. Could you
please suggest better or reliable way partitioning with minimum downtime or
no downtime.?

Cheers,
