; The above syntax is supported by MySQL and PostgreSQL.. Oracle and SQL Server have a slightly different syntax: If you omit schema, then Oracle Database assumes the table is in your own schema. When modifying a list partition, the following additional clauses are available: ADD | DROP VALUES ClausesThese clauses are valid only when you are modifying composite partitions. If you would like to restrict the references to point only to objects stored in the departments table, then you could do so by adding a scope constraint on the dept column as follows: The preceding ALTER TABLE statement will succeed only if the staff table is empty. You cannot use this clause with SET UNUSED, because that clause does not remove column data. You can specify only one constraint for each drop_constraint_clause, but you can specify multiple drop_constraint_clause in one statement. The semantics of this clause are the same as for CREATE TABLE unless otherwise noted. Restriction on Varray Column PropertiesYou cannot specify TABLESPACE as part of LOB_parameters for a varray column. In this example I truncated the first table, so my table segments did not contain much free space internally. This operation establishes correspondence between the indextype metadata and the base table. You must specify FORCE if the column or any attributes of its type are not FINAL. You cannot add a column with a NOT NULL constraint if table has any rows unless you also specify the DEFAULT clause. CREATE TABLE for information on creating tables, Oracle Text Reference for information on ALTER TABLE statements in conjunction with Oracle Text. Existing statistics for the table being exchanged into the partitioned table will be exchanged. Use integer to specify the prefix length (number of prefix columns to compress). Refer to CREATE VIEW for more information. Restriction on Mapping TablesYou cannot specify NOMAPPING if any bitmapped indexes have been defined on table. The "Method" section has two options: The "Scratch Tablespace" section has two options which determine if the datafile name is preserved or not. You may want to consider your UNDO_RETENTION parameter setting. To examine the identified exceptions, you must have the privileges necessary to query the exceptions table. In addition, this clause updates only indexes that are USABLE and VALID. Use the deallocate_unused_clause to explicitly deallocate unused space at the end of the table, partition or subpartition, overflow data segment, LOB data segment, or LOB index and make the space available for other segments in the tablespace. If table contains any equipartitioned nested tables, then you cannot truncate the parent partition unless its corresponding nested table partition is empty. This clause lets you specify storage attributes the newly added column for each partition or subpartition in a partitioned table. The database invalidates any indexes on heap-organized tables. If you omit this clause, then the mapping table partition retains its original attributes. The database stores the new index partitions in the default tablespace of the index partition being split. If the nested table is a multilevel collection, and the inner nested table does not have a name, then specify COLUMN_VALUE in place of the nested_item name. The database also marks UNUSABLE any global indexes on heap-organized tables. Starting at the "tablespaces" screen, select the "RECLAIM_TS" tablespace by clicking the radio group button next to it, select the "Reorganize" action and click the "Go" button. Specify COMPRESS to instruct Oracle Database to combine the primary key index blocks of the index-organized table where possible to free blocks for reuse. Specify SET UNUSED to mark one or more columns as unused. Index-organized tables are primary key based, so Oracle can keep global indexes USABLE during operations that move data but do not change its value. The add_hash_partition_clause lets you add a new hash partition to the high end of a hash-partitioned table. In Oracle Database 11 g, SecureFiles LOB storage was introduced; the original storage type was given the name BasicFiles LOB storage and became the default.. LOBs created using BasicFiles LOB storage became known as BasicFiles LOBs and LOBs created using SecureFiles LOB storage were Global indexes on the table being exchanged remain invalidated. For all types of partitions, you can also specify how Oracle Database should handle local indexes that become unusable as a result of the modification to the partition. When you specify this clause for a column in an external table, the clause is transparently converted to an ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN statement. The LOB tablespace for a varray defaults to the tablespace of the containing table. Refer to the CREATE TABLE clause LOB_retention_clause for a full description of this parameter. INSTANCE evaluates the condition only once during the database instance lifetime. For examples of changing the storage parameters of a table, see the storage_clause . You cannot convert a LOB from one type of storage to the other. For MERGE PARTITION operations, the resulting local index partition inherits its name from the resulting table partition and inherits its attributes from the local index. However, subsequent partitioning operations (such as add and merge operations) will use the new template. Parameter values specified in this clause apply only to the overflow data segment. You cannot drop a primary key constraint (even with the CASCADE clause) on a table that uses the primary key as its object identifier (OID). You can specify only one list of LOB_partition_storage clauses in a single ALTER TABLE statement, and all LOB_storage_clauses and varray_col_properties clause must precede the list of LOB_partition_storage clauses. Any other attributes changed in this clause will be changed in subpartitions of partition as well, overriding existing values. If key compression is enabled, then it must be enabled for both the source and the target, and with the same prefix length. This clause has no affect on the external data itself. CHUNK integer You use cannot use the modify_col_properties clause to change the value of CHUNK after it has been set. On the DROP clause, use GROUP log_group syntax to drop a named supplemental log group and use the supplemental_id_key_clause to drop a system-generated log group. If a domain index is defined on the column being renamed, then the database invokes the ODCIIndexAlter method with the RENAME option. If the table is empty, then you can increase or decrease the leading field or the fractional second value of a datetime or interval column. Refer to XMLSchema_spec in the documentation on CREATE TABLE for more information on the ALLOW and DISALLOW clauses. Oracle Database marks UNUSABLE the local index partitions corresponding to one or more absorbing partitions. The LOB data segments for columns ad_source_text and ad_finaltext will reside in the omf_ts2 tablespace, and will inherit all other attributes first from the table-level defaults, and then from the tablespace defaults. All other dependent objects are invalidated. If no default flashback data archive has been designated for the system, then you must specify flashback_archive. You cannot specify tablespace storage for the overflow segment using this clause. If a subsequent query selects all columns of the external table, then the settings behave identically. We can also see the size of the datafile has been reduced from 26M to 14M. This clause is not valid for hash partitions. This operation returns only after all encrypted columns in the table, including LOB columns, have been reencrypted. Use the coalesce_table_partition clause instead. Specify TRUNCATE PARTITION to remove all rows from the partition identified by partition_extended_name or, if the table is composite partitioned, all rows from the subpartitions of that partition. The object types underlying the ad_textdocs_ntab and ad_header columns are created in the script that creates the pm sample schema: The following statement splits partition p2 of that table into partitions p2a and p2b: In both partitions p2a and p2b, Oracle Database creates the LOB segments for columns ad_photo and ad_composite in tablespace omf_ts2. Use the alter_external_table clauses to change the characteristics of an external table. Remember, reorganising a tablespace is a big structural change. Oracle Database stops enforcing the constraint and removes it from the data dictionary. Notes on Exchanging Partitions and SubpartitionsThe following notes apply when exchanging partitions and subpartitions: Both tables involved in the exchange must have the same primary key, and no validated foreign keys can be referencing either of the tables unless the referenced table is empty. Restrictions on Dropping Table PartitionsDropping table partitions is subject to the following restrictions: You cannot drop a partition of a hash-partitioned table. The absolute maximum number of columns in a table is 1000. Specifying NO SALT will allow a B-tree index to be created on the column, if desired. REUSE STORAGESpecify REUSE STORAGE to keep space from the deleted rows allocated to the partition or subpartition. If the partition or subpartition to be truncated contains data, then you must first disable any referential integrity constraints on the table. If you specify the parallel_clause with either of these clauses, then the database parallelizes the index update, not the exchange operation. ENCRYPT | DECRYPTLOB encryption has the same semantics as column encryption in general. If table is index organized and has a mapping table defined on it, then the database drops the corresponding mapping table partition as well. Support for online segment move operations improve with every release. You can update all these indexes during this operation using the update_index_clauses. Using this clause invalidates any dependent materialized views. If a bitmap join index is defined on table, then any operation that alters a partition of table causes Oracle Database to mark the index UNUSABLE. If you add a LOB column to a hash-partitioned table, then the only attribute you can specify for the new partition is TABLESPACE. Otherwise, Oracle Database returns an error. All other attributes of the partition are inherited from the table-level defaults except TABLESPACE, which stays the same as it was at create time. Refer to the index_subpartition_clause (in CREATE INDEX) for more information on this component of the update_index_partition clause. Use the name of the storage table specified in the nested_table_col_properties to make the modification. Use this clause to split a list subpartition into two separate subpartitions with nonoverlapping value lists. You can specify the LOB_storage_clause as part of modify_col_properties only when you are changing a LONG or LONG RAW column to a LOB. Create a new temp tablespace, move the users on to it, then drop the old temp tablespace. AT ClauseThe AT clause applies only to range partitions. This is the default. Currently displayed columns are marked with a check mark. For information on whether a table contains data based on an older type version, refer to the DATA_UPGRADED column of the USER_TAB_COLUMNS data dictionary view. The selected columns are the primary key, and the foreign key columns are listed below. Prop 30 is supported by a coalition including CalFire Firefighters, the American Lung Association, environmental organizations, electrical workers and businesses that want to improve Californias air quality by fighting and preventing wildfires and reducing air pollution from vehicles. update_index_partitionThis clause is valid only for operations on table partitions and affects only local indexes. Any attributes you do not specify are inherited from the current partition. MODIFY DEFAULT ATTRIBUTES OVERFLOW to change the default tablespace of the overflow segment. The DBMS_IOT package in Oracle Database PL/SQL Packages and Types Reference for information on the SQL scripts, Oracle Database Administrator's Guide for information on eliminating migrated and chained rows, constraint for more information on constraint checking and "Creating an Exceptions Table for Index-Organized Tables: Example". If, while updating such a value, Oracle Database encounters a minute field greater than or equal to 60 (which can occur in a boundary case when the daylight saving rule switches), then it updates the minute field by subtracting 60 from it. If index is a local index on a composite-partitioned Therefore, the LOB data in this example is stored in the auto_seg_ts tablespace, which was created in "Specifying Segment Space Management for a Tablespace: Example": To modify the LOB column resume so that it does not use caching, enter the following statement: Nested Tables: ExamplesThe following statement adds the nested table column skills to the employee table: You can also modify nested table storage characteristics. To learn the length semantics of existing columns, query the CHAR_USED column of the ALL_, USER_, or DBA_TAB_COLUMNS data dictionary view. This clause does not shrink mapping tables of index-organized tables, even if you specify CASCADE. LOB_storage_clauseThe LOB_storage_clause is permitted within modify_col_properties only if you are converting a LONG column to a LOB column. If you omit the archive name, then the database uses the default flashback data archive designated for the system. The DROP and KEEP clauses are valid only when you are disabling a unique or primary key constraint. Refer to the CREATE TABLE clause LOB_partition_storage for full information on this clause, including restrictions. See index_org_table_clause in the context of CREATE TABLE. The update_index_clauses are not needed, and are not valid, for partitioned index-organized tables. Why? You cannot rename a column that is used to define a join index. Use the range_subpartition_desc, list_subpartition_desc, individual_hash_subparts, or hash_subparts_by_quantity clause, as appropriate, if you want to specify subpartitions for the new partition. Restrictions on Altering External TablesYou can add, drop, or modify the columns of an external table. Restriction on Upgrading Object Tables and ColumnsWithin this clause, you cannot specify object_type_col_properties as a clause of column_properties. This clause lets you describe a new column of type REF. SQL plan management is a preventative mechanism that enables the optimizer to automatically manage execution plans, ensuring that the database uses only known or verified plans.. SQL plan management uses a mechanism called a SQL plan baseline.A plan baseline is a set of accepted plans that the optimizer is allowed to use for a SQL statement. The physical attributes of these segments are inherited from the table level. This statement has no effect on any existing values in existing rows. All of the segment attributes of the two objects (including tablespace and logging) are also exchanged. XMLType_column_propertiesRefer to the CREATE TABLE clause XMLType_column_properties for a full description of this clause. You can update these indexes during this operation using the update_index_clauses. The manual tablespace reorganization method works well, but when you start dealing with lots of segments it can become a bit painful to script, especially if you start using the online table redefinition functionality. The clauses in this section apply only to partitioned tables. LOB_compression_clauseThis clause is valid only for SecureFiles LOBs. MAPPING TABLEThe MAPPING TABLE clause is relevant only for an index-organized table that already has a mapping table defined for it. CACHE READS ClauseWhen you add a new LOB column, you can specify the logging attribute with CACHE READS, as you can when defining a LOB column at create time. Instead use the MODIFY PARTITION COALESCE SUBPARTITION syntax. This clause is valid only when you are altering the parent table of a reference-partitioned table. Use SET INTERVAL () to disable interval partitioning. On the resulting page, expand the "Extent Map" section. You cannot specify this clause for a partitioned index-organized table. The key_compression and OVERFLOW clauses are valid only for a partitioned index-organized table. Adding a Table Column: ExampleThe following statement adds to the countries table a column named duty_pct of data type NUMBER and a column named visa_needed of data type VARCHAR2 with a size of 3 and a CHECK integrity constraint: Adding a Virtual Table Column: ExampleThe following statement adds to a copy of the hr.employees table a column named income, which is a combination of salary plus commission. Restriction on Coalescing Table PartitionsIf you update global indexes using the update_all_indexes_clause, then you can specify only the keywords UPDATE INDEXES, not the subclause. It you are happy to change the datafile name do the following: * As pointed out by Manfred Milhofer in the comments, some versions of the database are susceptible to an error if you rename a tablespace to a name that was used previously, as described in MOS Doc ID 604648.1. A lack of housekeeping/maintenance means that one or more tables have grown excessively. When you create an object table or a relational table with columns of object, nested table, varray, or REF type, Oracle Database maps the columns of the user-defined types to relational columns, in effect creating hidden columns that count toward the 1000-column limit. If you omit this clause, then the default is EXCLUDING INDEXES. The storage of partitioned database entities in tablespaces of different block sizes is subject to several restrictions. inline_constraintThis clause lets you add a constraint to a column you are modifying. If we switch off autoextend for the relevant datafile, the last four columns will look more representative. However, if this statement is interrupted after a checkpoint has been applied, then the table remains in an unusable state. When it is not specified, the default parallel attributes of the table, if any, are used. Oracle recommends that a representative set of data already exist in the table before you specify MINIMIZE. The value_list must collate greater than the partition bound for the highest existing partition in the table. The table is stored in tablespaces created in "Creating Oracle Managed Files: Examples". RAC | The ALL setting guarantees consistent result sets. For each partition or subpartition truncated, Oracle Database also truncates corresponding local index partitions and subpartitions. Use the logging_clause to change the logging attribute of the table. If the datafile name must remain the same do the following: Obviously the second method requires much more work as all segments are being moved twice. When you rename a column, Oracle Database handles dependent objects as follows: Function-based indexes and check constraints that depend on the renamed column remain valid. Restriction on Adding a Virtual ColumnYou cannot add a virtual column when the SQL expression for the virtual column involves a column on which an Oracle Data Redaction policy is defined. I consider this type of action a one-off task when something significant has happened in the tablespace. This clause is valid only for composite-partitioned tables. The new mapping table is created in the same tablespace as the parent table. The overflow_attributes let you specify the overflow data segment physical storage and logging attributes to be modified for the index-organized table. The records_per_block_clause lets you specify whether Oracle Database restricts the number of records that can be stored in a block. The CACHE and NOCACHE clauses have the same semantics in CREATE TABLE and ALTER TABLE statements. The drop_column_clause lets you free space in the database by dropping columns you no longer need or by marking them to be dropped at a future time when the demand on system resources is less. FREEPOOLS integerFor BasicFiles LOBs, if the database is in automatic undo mode, then you can use this clause to specify the number of freelist groups for this LOB. The alter_mapping_table_clauses is valid only if table is index organized and has a mapping table. To see what I mean, perform the setup again, but this time before building the tables add an additional datafile to the tablespace. Use the supplemental_table_logging clause to add or drop a redo log group or one or more supplementally logged columns in a redo log group. It deletes all the data in the p1 partition and deallocates the freed space: Updating Global Indexes: ExampleThe following statement splits partition sales_q1_2000 of the sample table sh.sales and updates any global indexes defined on it: Updating Partitioned Indexes: ExampleThe following statement splits partition costs_Q4_2003 of the sample table sh.costs and updates the local index defined on it. This clause overrides any subpartition descriptions defined in subpartition_template at the table level. The supplemental_log_grp_clause and the supplemental_id_key_clause have the same semantics in CREATE TABLE and ALTER TABLE statements. None of these operations cascade to any child table of the reference-partitioned table. Refer to allocate_extent_clause for a full description of this clause. Use the ALTER TABLE statement to alter the definition of a nonpartitioned table, a partitioned table, a table partition, or a table subpartition. KEEP INDEX | DROP INDEXSpecify KEEP INDEX or DROP INDEX to indicate whether Oracle Database should preserve or drop the index it has been using to enforce the PRIMARY KEY or UNIQUE constraint. You can drop a column from an index-organized table only if it is not a primary key column. See Oracle Database PL/SQL Packages and Types Reference for more information on this packaged procedure. However, only local dependencies are invalidated, because the database manages remote dependencies differently from local dependencies. See "UNUSABLE LOCAL INDEXES Clauses". Specify SET UNUSED to mark one or more columns as unused. You can also create a table based on a select statement. add_list_subpartitionThis clause is valid only for range-list and list-list composite partitions. A select * query will not retrieve data from unused columns. If you update the global indexes, then you cannot specify the optional subclause of the update_all_indexes_clause. It is not supported for index-organized tables. However, if the parent subpartition does not have a default TABLESPACE attribute, then the new subpartitions inherit the tablespace of the corresponding new table subpartitions. Alternatively, you can delete the rows and then truncate the partition. Alter table set unused (*) Drop column "columname" Incorrect Incorrect. For any partition or subpartition you do not name in this clause, the storage attributes for the new column are the same as those specified in the nested_table_col_properties at the table level. If you drop the primary key or unique constraint from a column on which a bitmap join index is defined, then Oracle Database invalidates the index. The new index partitions inherit their attributes from the partition being split. You can, however, specify local index maintenance during an exchange operation by using the INCLUDING | EXCLUDING INDEXES clause. Restrictions on Moving Table PartitionsMoving table partitions is subject to the following restrictions: If partition is a hash partition, then the only attribute you can specify in this clause is TABLESPACE. Instead, drop the table. Export the objects in question. Oracle clean-up. Restrictions on Splitting Table SubpartitionsSplitting table subpartitions is subject to the following restrictions: You cannot specify this clause for a hash subpartition. If the subpartition is not empty, then Oracle Database marks UNUSABLE all local index subpartitions corresponding to the subpartition being moved. It cannot be index-organized, temporary, or part of a cluster. In the partitioning_storage_clause, the only clause you can specify for subpartitions is the TABLESPACE clause. Oracle Database Reference for information on the data dictionary views, ALTER TYPE for information on converting dependent table data when modifying a type upon which the table depends. If the parent table is composite, then specify one or more child tables, and for each child table specify one partition_spec for each subpartition created in the parent table. Oracle Database drops local index partitions corresponding to the selected partition. Segment shrink is not supported for tables with function-based indexes, domain indexes, or bitmap join indexes. Specify EXCLUDING INDEXES if you want all index partitions or subpartitions corresponding to the partition and all the regular indexes and index partitions on the exchanged table to be marked UNUSABLE. If table is already valid, then the table metadata remains unchanged. Otherwise, the statement aborts and an error is returned. The value list must compare less than the original subpartition bound for the subpartition identified by subpartition_extended_name and greater than the partition bound for the next lowest subpartition (if there is one). Oracle Database moves the mapping table along with the moved index-organized table partition. Oracle Database splits any corresponding local subpartition index, even if it is marked UNUSABLE. For storage_table, specify the name of the table where the rows of nested_item reside. Refer to the CREATE TABLE clause ENABLE STORAGE IN ROW for complete information on this clause. mapping_table_clauseSpecify MAPPING TABLE if you want Oracle Database to create a mapping table if one does not already exist. What we can see now is the "T1" table has a single extent (yellow) and there is lots of free space (green) in the centre of the tablespace. Instead you must split the DEFAULT partition using the split_list_subpartition clause. ; The V$ Restriction on Truncating Table Partitions and SubpartitionsIf you update global indexes using the update_all_indexes_clause, then you can specify only the UPDATE INDEXES keywords, not the subclause. Following the release of Django 3.0, we suggest that third-party app authors drop support for all versions of Django prior to 2.2. To drop the referenced key and the foreign key together, use the CASCADE clause. Refer to constraint for syntax and description of this type of constraint, including restrictions. First, create a new tablespace to hold the objects. If you specify the parallel_clause in conjunction with the move_table_clause, then the parallelism applies only to the move, not to subsequent DML and query operations on the table. The column being added cannot be encrypted, and cannot be an object column, nested table column, or a LOB column. If you specify neither, then Oracle Database invalidates the global indexes. If you update global indexes using the update_index_clauses, then you can specify only the UPDATE INDEXES keywords but not the subclause. INCLUDING column_nameRefer to "INCLUDING column_name" in the documentation of CREATE TABLE. RETURN ASSpecify what Oracle Database should return as the result of a query: LOCATOR specifies that a unique locator for the nested table is returned. CASCADEIf you specify CASCADE, then Oracle Database performs the same operations on all dependent objects of table, including secondary indexes on index-organized tables. Restrictions on Default Column ValuesDefault column values are subject to the following restrictions: A DEFAULT expression cannot contain references to other columns, the pseudocolumns CURRVAL, NEXTVAL, LEVEL, and ROWNUM, or date constants that are not fully specified. For complete information on these clauses, refer to "CACHE | NOCACHE | CACHE READS" in the documentation on CREATE TABLE. DEDUPLICATE enables LOB deduplication. Specify the physical_attributes_clause, nested_table_col_properties, parallel_clause, allocate_extent_clause, deallocate_unused_clause, or any of the index-organized table clauses. Therefore, be sure to refresh all dependent materialized views before performing any of these operations. If you do not specify new partition names, then Oracle Database assigns names of the form SYS_Pn. *. If you do not specify TABLESPACE for a particular partition, then the database uses the tablespace specified for the table. The combined output and separate output for each datafile is shown below. Purpose. Expand Show Advanced Options and decide whether the selected default data masking options are satisfactory. When you modify the partition_attributes of a table partition with equipartitioned nested tables, the changes do not apply to the nested table partitions corresponding to the table partition being modified. Also, because the nested table is defined as a table of scalar values (REF values), Oracle Database implicitly provides the column name COLUMN_VALUE for the storage table. You cannot specify this clause if the index-organized table contains any LOB, VARRAY, Oracle-supplied type, or user-defined object type columns. Oracle Database drops the corresponding subpartition of any local index. 10g | See the external_table_clause (in CREATE TABLE). If index is range-partitioned or hash-partitioned, then Oracle Database deallocates unused space from each index partition. For both partitions and subpartitions, new_name must be different from all existing partitions and subpartitions of the same table. You can find the order of the partitions by querying the PARTITION_NAME and PARTITION_POSITION columns of the USER_IND_PARTITIONS view. This clause overrides any prior setting of PCTVERSION. In addition, the names and types of columns marked UNUSED will not be displayed during a DESCRIBE, and you can add to the table a new column with the same name as an unused column. Otherwise, this clause has the same semantics in CREATE TABLE and ALTER TABLE statements. To change default partition attributes without overriding existing subpartition values, use the modify_table_default_attrs clause with the FOR PARTITION clause. This clause specifies new default values for the attributes of the partition identified in partition_extended_name. If you specify only the PARTITION keyword, then Oracle Database updates the index partition as follows: For operations on a single table partition (such as MOVE PARTITION and SPLIT PARTITION), the corresponding index partition inherits the attributes of the affected index table partition, Oracle Database does not generate names for new index partitions, so any new index partitions resulting from this operation inherit their names from the corresponding new table partition. Specify ENABLE ALL TRIGGERS to enable all triggers associated with the table. SET UNUSED Clause. For complete information on this clause, refer to parallel_clause in the documentation on CREATE TABLE. If the moved partitions are not empty, then the database marks them UNUSABLE. Use the rename_column_clause to rename a column of table. The ADD clause lets you add a new out-of-line constraint or out-of-line REF constraint to the table. When modifying a hash partition, in the partition_attributes clause, you can specify only the allocate_extent_clause and deallocate_unused_clause. The restrictions that apply to the add_overflow_clause also apply to the alter_overflow_clause. You can specify any create-time physical attributes for the new partition. However, the global statistics for the partitioned table will not be altered. However, you can move subpartitions using the move_table_subpartition clause. Use the EXCHANGE PARTITION or EXCHANGE SUBPARTITION clause to exchange the data and index segments of: One range-partitioned table with the range subpartitions of a range-range or list-range composite-partitioned table partition, One hash-partitioned table with the hash subpartitions of a range-hash or list-hash composite-partitioned table partition, One list-partitioned table with the list subpartitions of a range-list or hash-list composite-partitioned table partition. The database scans existing data and returns an error if data exists that exceeds the new length limit. range_values_clauseSpecify the upper bound for the new partition. Instead you must first issue an ALTER TABLE statement with the NO FLASHBACK ARCHIVE clause and then issue an ALTER TABLE statement with the FLASHBACK ARCHIVE clause. WITH | WITHOUT VALIDATIONSpecify WITH VALIDATION if you want Oracle Database to return an error if any rows in the exchanged table do not map into partitions or subpartitions being exchanged. The database converts existing interval partitions to range partitions, using the higher boundaries of created interval partitions as upper boundaries for the range partitions to be created. You cannot combine this clause with any other clauses in this ALTER TABLE statement. SHRINK SPACE COMPACT is equivalent to specifying ALTER [INDEX | TABLE COALESCE. object_type_col_propertiesThis clause is valid only when you are adding a new object type column or attribute. The database ignores this parameter for SecureFiles LOBs. Renaming Constraints: ExampleThe following statement renames the cust_fname_nn constraint on the sample table oe.customers to cust_firstname_nn: Dropping Constraints: ExamplesThe following statement drops the primary key of the departments table: If you know that the name of the PRIMARY KEY constraint is pk_dept, then you could also drop it with the following statement: The CASCADE clause causes Oracle Database to drop any foreign keys that reference the primary key. Drop the original objects and reduce the size of the datafile. A SELECT * query will not retrieve data from unused columns. This clause lets you alter some of the characteristics of an existing index-organized table. You must then correct any errors that exist in that object before referencing it. The index and data segments of LOB columns are not rebuilt unless you specify the LOB columns explicitly as part of this ALTER TABLE statement. Subpartition DescriptionsThese clauses are valid only for composite-partitioned tables. The modify_table_default_attrs clause lets you specify new default values for the attributes of table. Oracle Database merges corresponding local index subpartitions and marks the resulting index subpartition UNUSABLE. The shrink_clause can be cascaded (refer to the CASCADE clause, which follows) and compacts the segment more densely than does a coalesce operation, which can improve performance. If you are using oracle 11g, you can shrink a temporary tablespace using the ALTER TABLESPACE command, as shown here. Oracle Database adds local index partitions corresponding to the selected partition. If you specify this clause, then Oracle Database will always store the varray in a LOB, even if it is small enough to be stored inline. Specify DROP UNUSED COLUMNS to remove from the table all columns currently marked as unused. You can specify local index maintenance by using the INCLUDING | EXCLUDING INDEXES clause. Other attributes are always inherited from table-level defaults. Refer to Section 13 Lesson 3. Oracle Database splits the corresponding partition in each local index defined on table, even if the index is marked UNUSABLE. Use the parallel_clause to specify whether to parallelize the creation of the new partition. The SET UNUSED information is stored in the USER_UNUSED_COL_TABS dictionary view. In subpartition descriptions, the only clauses of partitioning_storage_clause you can specify are TABLESPACE and table compression. If neither is specified, then Oracle Database performs the move serially. See the alter_mapping_table_clauses . All indexes defined on any of the target columns are also dropped. Rename the new tablespace to match the original name. These two clauses modify the attributes of local index partitions and index subpartitions corresponding to partition, depending on whether you are modifying a partition or subpartition. You can specify NULL if you have not already specified NULL for another subpartition in the same partition. You can use the TO_LOB function to change a LONG column to a CLOB or NCLOB column, and a LONG RAW column to a BLOB column. Drop the original tablespace and rename the new one back to the original name. At that time, you should be able to run your packages tests using python-Wd so that deprecation warnings appear. This clause facilitates high-speed data loading when used with transportable tablespaces. Specify READ ONLY to put the table in read-only mode. However, you can change this setting when adding a new column (add_column_clause ) or when moving the table (move_table_clause ). The database also creates new segments for nested table column ad_textdocs_ntab. When all sessions are using the post-upgrade edition, you can drop the forward crossedition triggers. The logging_clause specifies whether subsequent ALTER TABLE MOVE and ALTER TABLE SPLIT operations will be logged or not logged. If integer is greater than the number of rows in the table, then the database applies a checkpoint after all the rows have been processed. LOB Columns: ExamplesThe following statement adds CLOB column resume to the employee table and specifies LOB storage characteristics for the new column: To modify the LOB column resume to use caching, enter the following statement: The following statement adds a SecureFiles CLOB column resume to the employee table and specifies LOB storage characteristics for the new column. This clause is valid only for segments in tablespaces with automatic segment management. This clause is useful if you want to accomplish the shrink operation in two shorter steps rather than one longer step. empty string. You can add LOB columns to nonpartitioned and partitioned tables. All lobs in the segment are read, and any matching LOBs are deduplicated before returning. Both the source and target must have overflow segments, or neither can have overflow segments. If you do not specify the LOB_storage_clause for a particular LOB column, then its LOB data and LOB index segments are not moved. The new index subpartitions inherit physical attributes from the parent subpartition. Existing subpartitions are not affected by this clause. INCLUDING | EXCLUDING INDEXESSpecify INCLUDING INDEXES if you want local index partitions or subpartitions to be exchanged with the corresponding table index (for a nonpartitioned table) or local indexes (for a hash-partitioned table). If the table has a Virtual Private Database (VPD) policy on it, then the optimized behavior will not take place unless the user who issues the ALTER TABLE ADD statement has the EXEMPT ACCESS POLICY system privilege. That's not very simple when we have lots of files, segments and gaps to contend with. To physically drop a column you can use one of the following syntaxes, depending on whether you wish to drop a single or multiple columns. Use the coalesce_table_partition clause to indicate that Oracle Database should select the last hash partition, distribute its contents into one or more remaining partitions as determined by the hash function, and then drop the last partition. If table has equipartitioned nested table columns, then Oracle Database also drops the nested table partitions corresponding to the table partition being dropped. datatypeYou can change the data type of any column if all rows of the column contain nulls.
