With as much mail that is going through, not sure if you got an answer for this
one yet. I've had this happen to me in the past when someone created a
partition for one of our tables that is recovered for our mart in the wrong
tablespace in the primary system.
Do you have global indexes on this partitioned table? If so, you will need to
pull the ddl for them, drop them, (yes, I know, it's painful, I wrote a whole
post in my blog on this one titled "dumb dba trick #8006" due to the amount of
pain...:)) then you'll be able to drop the partitions, recreate the
index(es) and go from there to cleaning up afterwards.
Hope this helps!

Hi Tony,
Thanks
Tried that since sending the mail, but it complaints about being a composite
partition and is unable to exchange partition.

Just a thought, how about exchanging the existing partitions with empty tables,
then dropping and re-creating the partitioned table and exchange the tables
with partitions again?
Cheers,

Hi,
I have the following issue
I have been asked to clone a subset of a very large database. Sofar nothing
tricky and this works fine,
however...this database has a partitioned table with sub partitions spread over
multiple tablespaces. some of which have not been cloned across as the
requirement was the last few months worth of data.
RMAN clone command was succesful till the last bit where it tried to drop the
tablespaces that were skipped. After that the database opened fine but
subsequent selects on the table complain about missing datafiles
(understandably) but I have no idea how to solve the problem.
I have tried offlining the tablespace (no error but does not solve the problem)
I have tried dropping the partition "ORA-14268: subpartition 'SYS_SUBP437' of
the partition resides in offlined tablespace"
I have tried dropping the sub partitions but get error ORA14616 table not
partitioned by List method"
I have tried offline the datafiles that are missing, but this does not solve
the problem (mount and open mode).
I have tried offline drop the datafiles that are missing, but this does not
solve the problem (mount and open mode).
I have tried to recreate the controlfile without the missing datafiles, no luck
Any other suggestions?
