Oracle Partitioned Tables Explained

In Oracle database, a partitioned table refers to a table where data is divided and stored in different partitions based on specified rules. Partitioning tables can improve query performance, data management, and maintenance efficiency. Tables can be partitioned using different rules such as time range, column value range, or list value range. Each partition can be managed and maintained independently, allowing for backups, recovery, and optimization to be done for specific partitions. Oracle provides a variety of partitioning features and syntax to design and manage partitions based on actual needs.
