Above the 12c version of online table partition (do not use online redefinition)

Start 12c, partition table online, you can not use the online redefined. Aleter table modify may be used as a way to partition.

Some description of the update index statement

Considerations When Using the UPDATE INDEXES Clause

When using the UPDATE INDEXES clause, note the following.

• This clause can be used to change the partitioning state of indexes and storage properties of the indexes being converted.

• The specification of the UPDATE INDEXES clause is optional.

  Indexes are maintained both for the online and offline conversion to a partitioned table.

• This clause cannot change the columns on which the original list of indexes are defined.

• This clause cannot change the uniqueness property of the index or any other index property.

• If you do not specify the tablespace for any of the indexes, then the following tablespace defaults apply.

  • Local indexes after the conversion collocate with the table partition.

  • Global indexes after the conversion reside in the same tablespace of the original global index on the non-partitioned table.

• If you do not specify the INDEXES clause or the INDEXES clause does not specify all the indexes on the original non-partitioned table, then the following default behavior applies for all unspecified indexes.

  • Global partitioned indexes remain the same and retain the original partitioning shape.

  • Non-prefixed indexes become global nonpartitioned indexes.

  • Prefixed indexes are converted to local partitioned indexes.

    Prefixed means that the partition key columns are included in the index definition, but the index definition is not limited to including the partitioning keys only.

  • Bitmap indexes become local partitioned indexes, regardless whether they are prefixed or not.

    Bitmap indexes must always be local partitioned indexes.

• The conversion operation cannot be performed if there are domain indexes.
