Element Type Definition
| Element Type Name | GLOBAL_INDEX_PARTITION |
| Short Name | GIP |
| View Name | CI_GLOBAL_INDEX_PARTITIONS |
| Description | A partition into which an index has been divided, based on a |
| partition key of one or more columns. | |
| The index partition can have different physical attributes to | |
| the index (eg tablespace, storage definition). | |
| Partitioning of global indexes is independent of the partitioning | |
| of the table (unlike the partitioning of local indexes) | |
| A new capability in Oracle8 | |
| Sub-type of | INDEX_PARTITION |

| Name | Datatype | Opt ? | Notes | Domain | Default Value |
| INDEX_PARTITION_TYPE | VARCHAR2(3) | N | Sub-type discriminator. Internal property indicating whether the INDEX_PARTITION is a GLOBAL_INDEX_PARTITION (GIP) or a LOCAL_INDEX_PARTITION (LIP)
Not displayed Uppercase System maintained Not updatable by user Defined on INP supertype | INDEX_PARTITION_TYPE | |
| INITIAL_TRANSACTION | NUMBER(3, 0) | Y | Initial number of transaction entries allocated within each data block allocated to the partition
Prompt: Init Trans Defined on INP supertype | ||
| MAXIMUM_TRANSACTION | NUMBER(3, 0) | Y | Maximum number of concurrent transactions that can update a data block allocated to the partition
Prompt: Max Trans Defined on INP supertype | ||
| NAME | VARCHAR2(30) | N | Name of the index partition
Prompt: Name Uppercase System maintained: API provides a value only if left null by the user Defined on INP supertype | ||
| PERCENT_FREE | NUMBER(3, 0) | Y | Percentage of space in each of the partition's data blocks reserved for future updates
Prompt: Percent Free Defined on INP supertype | ||
| SEQUENCE_NUMBER | NUMBER(6, 0) | N | Sequence in which partition to appear amongst other partitions for the same index in the generated DDL
Prompt: Usage Sequence System maintained: API provides a value only if left null by the user | ||
| VALUE_LESS_THAN | VARCHAR2(240) | N | The 'VALUE LESS THAN' parameter for this index partition. In the case of a composite partition key, the multiple parameters are separated by commas eg "6,5,0". Surrounding brackets added by Server Generator in generated DDL
Prompt: Value Less Than Uppercase | ||
| PARENT_IVID | NUMBER(38, 0) | Y | Internal use only. Exists on "secondary" element types from a versioning viewpoint. Contains the IVID of the primary element type (not necessarily a PAC) forming the basis of the "versionable object" to which this element type belongs
Not displayed System maintained Updatable only if null Defined on SAC supertype | ||
| PAC_REFERENCE | NUMBER(38, 0) | Y | Internal use only. Exists on "secondary" element types from a structural viewpoint. Contains the IRID of the PAC forming the basis of the "logical object" to which this element type belongs
