Hi, if you only need to distinct between the partitions you may use the build in function DBMS_MVIEW.PMARKER something like ? select DBMS_MVIEW.PMARKER(rowid), max(column), min(column) from your_table group by DBMS_MVIEW.PMARKER(rowid); To identify the partition use additional max(partition_key_column) or max(some transformation of the partition key column) dependent of your partitioning schema.
