Why are you partitioning the table?
To break up the size of the table so that each partition has a size less than X 
GB?
To make sure that each portion of a local partitioned index has a lower blevel?
To make maintenance operations more manageable because you can do things (like 
moving to a different tablespace) a single partition at a time?
To be able to use parallelism and spread the work across several disks on bulk 
loads?
Because you've paid for the feature and you figure that it would be a shame not 
to use it?
