Hi Experts,
I am trying to modify non-partitioned table into partitioned .
alter table tb_spc modify
partition by range (tm_id)
(partition p1 values less than (1000),
partition p2 values less than (10000) and greater than (999),
partition p3 values less than (15000) and greater than (9999),
partition p4 values less than (maxvalue)) online;

I am using column tm_id to define the range.
But when I try to run the command it gives the error.

Could you please tell me if this is the right way and syntax to change non-partitioned table into partitoned table?


Thanks,
Varun

Is it 12.1 or 12.2? Modify non-partitioned table into partitioned is available starting 12.2.

There is no "and greater than" clause.

Actually it is 12.1 , thats the reason It gives error.
Can I recreate the table with partition enabled then import the data from old non-partitioned Table,
Would that be the best solution?

Thanks,
Varun

You can. But as John noted partitioning syntax is wrong.

So I have another UAT server on 19c where I can try running this.
I want to modify table to range partition and the column I want to use is tm_id.
tm_id has 122 distinct values , So Do I have to mention all the values while modifying the table to partitioned table?
Or is there a command where it will create all the partitions based upon those 122 values on its own.
Right now I have to issue this mentioning all the 122 tm_id values to modify:-

alter table tb_spc modify
partition by range (tm_id)
(partition p1 values less than (1000),
partition p2 values less than (10000)
partition p3 values less than (15000)
partition p4 values less than (maxvalue)) online;
Is there any command that I could use where it creates all the partitions by itself?

Thanks,
Varun

If you have N distinct values and want N partitions then it is not range partitioning you need but list partitioning.
Range partitioning is when you want to partition values by... range.

Ahhhh Michel Thanks for making me understand that .

So it that case i can just run :-
alter table tb_spc modify partition by list (tm_id) online;
Right now that 19c db is down,I will run it once it is back up and let all know if that works.

As Michel said, LIST AUTOMATIC better fits your requirements:

SQL> create table tm_spc(tm_id number);

Table created.

SQL> alter table tm_spc modify partition by list(tm_id) automatic (partition p0 values(null));

Table altered.

SQL> select partition_name,high_value from user_tab_partitions where table_name = 'TM_SPC';

PARTITION_NAME  HIGH_VALUE
--------------- ----------
P0              null

SQL> insert into tm_spc values(123);

1 row created.

SQL> select partition_name,high_value from user_tab_partitions where table_name = 'TM_SPC';

PARTITION_NAME  HIGH_VALUE
--------------- ----------
P0              null
SYS_P6936       123

SQL> insert into tm_spc values(99);

1 row created.

SQL> select partition_name,high_value from user_tab_partitions where table_name = 'TM_SPC';

PARTITION_NAME  HIGH_VALUE
--------------- ----------
P0              null
SYS_P6936       123
SYS_P6937       99

SQL>
