Oracle Table Partition Management Guide
Spatial management and table partition maintenance in Oracle can be achieved through the following steps:
- Space management:
- Using tablespaces to manage data files in a database allows for creating, modifying, and deleting tablespaces to manage the storage space of the database.
- You can manage tablespace using the ALTER TABLESPACE statement, for example, to increase the size of tablespace or add data files.
- The ALTER DATABASE statement can be used to manage the space of the entire database, such as adding data files or adjusting the storage parameters of the database.
- Partition maintenance:
- You can create a partitioned table using the CREATE TABLE statement, by specifying a partition key to partition the table.
- You can use the ALTER TABLE statement to maintain partitioned tables, such as adding new partitions, deleting existing partitions, or merging partitions.
- You can use the DROP TABLE statement to delete a partitioned table and remove all partition data at the same time.
In Oracle, space management and table partition maintenance can be done using SQL statements based on specific needs to ensure effective management and maintenance of database storage space and table partition structure.
