As Dennis suggested, you would need to raise the alarm now. Also, with 11g, partitioning is possible based on parent-child relationships. We too are stuck with this type of Constraint related tables and i am looking forward to getting 11g solely for this purpose. We have self referencing tables to add to our misery. Hopefully you don't have it in you environment. Whatever you delete don't forget to back up and retain a backup copy.

Sanjay,
A terabyte of business-critical data and they won't spring for the partitioning option? Something is seriously wrong here. Maybe you can use this issue to justify the purchase. Your best option may be to write a program that purges the data a few rows at a time and commits every few rows. Just let it run for months as needed. Dennis Williams
