Thread: Add/Drop Partitions

Threaded View

  1. #6
    Global indexing means 1 index for the entire table. That index should have gone invalid and require a rebuild as soon as you dropped one of the partitions , unless you did a UPDATE INDEXES in the drop partition command.

    Adding a new partition always invalidates global indexes.

    Local indexes are not the same as partitioned indexes. If you create local indexes then Oracle will take care of creating or dropping the associated partitions of the index when the base partition goes away. If you just created a partitioned index on the table (ie not as a local index) then you have to do all the work.

    What create statement did you use for the index?
