Element Type Definition


Element Type Name GLOBAL_INDEX_PARTITION
Short Name GIP
View NameCI_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
