Before the change, the table looked as follows:
CREATE TABLE RECEIVED_DOCUMENTS ( DOCID VARCHAR2(160 BYTE) NULL, FISCAL_YEAR NUMBER(4) NULL, DOCUMENT_TYPE VARCHAR2(100 CHAR) NULL, DOCUMENT_NAME VARCHAR2(1000 CHAR) NULL, VALID CHAR(1 BYTE) NULL, CREATED_TIMESTAMP NUMBER(20) NULL, VERSION NUMBER(20) NULL, DOC_XML CLOB NULL, PERIOD VARCHAR2(1000 CHAR) NULL, TRANSACTION_ID VARCHAR2(1000 BYTE) NULL ) LOB (DOC_XML) STORE AS SECUREFILE RECEIVED_DOCUMENT_XML_LOB (TABLESPACE LOB_DATA) TABLESPACE USERS PARTITION BY LIST (DOCUMENT_TYPE) SUBPARTITION BY LIST (PERIOD) SUBPARTITION TEMPLATE (SUBPARTITION SP_2014 VALUES ('2014') TABLESPACE DIV_2014, SUBPARTITION SP_2015 VALUES ('2015') TABLESPACE DIV_2015, SUBPARTITION SP_2016 VALUES ('2016') TABLESPACE DIV_2016, SUBPARTITION SP_DEFAULT VALUES (default) TABLESPACE DIV_DEFAULT ) ( PARTITION CUSTOMS_DEC VALUES ('EU_CUST', 'NONEU_CUST'), PARTITION VAT_REF VALUES ('EU_VAT_REF', 'EES_VAT_REF','NONEU_VAT_REF'), PARTITION DIV_DOCUMENTS VALUES (default) ) ;
First, alter the subpartition template. I also take the opportunity to create template for subpartitions in the years to come, up until 2020:
ALTER TABLE RECEIVED_DOCUMENTS SET SUBPARTITION TEMPLATE (SUBPARTITION SP_2014 VALUES ('2014') TABLESPACE DIV_2014, SUBPARTITION SP_2015 VALUES ('2015') TABLESPACE DIV_2015, SUBPARTITION SP_2016 VALUES ('2016') TABLESPACE DIV_2016, SUBPARTITION SP_2017 VALUES ('2017') TABLESPACE DIV_2017, SUBPARTITION SP_2018 VALUES ('2018') TABLESPACE DIV_2018, SUBPARTITION SP_2019 VALUES ('2019') TABLESPACE DIV_2019, SUBPARTITION SP_2020 VALUES ('2020') TABLESPACE DIV_2020, SUBPARTITION SP_DEFAULT VALUES (default) TABLESPACE DIV_DEFAULT );
Then, split the resulting default subpartition DIV_DOCUMENTS_SP_DEFAULT, into multiple other subpartitions. In this example, I am splitting out rows in the DIV_DOCUMENTS_SP_DEFAULT subpartition which have their PERIOD value set to the string '2017':
ALTER TABLE RECEIVED_DOCUMENTS SPLIT SUBPARTITION DIV_DOCUMENTS_SP_DEFAULT INTO ( SUBPARTITION DIV_SP_2017 VALUES ('2017') TABLESPACE DIV_2017 , SUBPARTITION DIV_SP_2017_01 VALUES ('2017-01') TABLESPACE DIV_2017 , SUBPARTITION DIV_SP_2017_02 VALUES ('2017-02') TABLESPACE DIV_2017 , SUBPARTITION DIV_SP_2017_03 VALUES ('2017-03') TABLESPACE DIV_2017 , SUBPARTITION DIV_SP_2017_04 VALUES ('2017-04') TABLESPACE DIV_2017 , SUBPARTITION DIV_SP_2017_05 VALUES ('2017-05') TABLESPACE DIV_2017 , SUBPARTITION DIV_SP_2017_06 VALUES ('2017-06') TABLESPACE DIV_2017 , SUBPARTITION DIV_SP_2017_07 VALUES ('2017-07') TABLESPACE DIV_2017 , SUBPARTITION DIV_SP_2017_08 VALUES ('2017-08') TABLESPACE DIV_2017 , SUBPARTITION DIV_SP_2017_09 VALUES ('2017-09') TABLESPACE DIV_2017 , SUBPARTITION DIV_SP_2017_10 VALUES ('2017-10') TABLESPACE DIV_2017 , SUBPARTITION DIV_SP_2017_11 VALUES ('2017-11') TABLESPACE DIV_2017 , SUBPARTITION DIV_SP_2017_12 VALUES ('2017-12') TABLESPACE DIV_2017 , SUBPARTITION DIV_DOCUMENTS_SP_DEFAULT) UPDATE INDEXES PARALLEL 8;
Notice in the above code that I also consider the other commonly used strings to indicate the year 2017. Of course, a row with a value of 'January 2017' in the PERIOD column will not find an appropriate partition according to the template, and thus end up in the default subpartition DIV_DOCUMENTS_SP_DEFAULT.
Let's add more partitions, this time to be prepared for the year 2018:
ALTER TABLE RECEIVED_DOCUMENTS SPLIT SUBPARTITION DIV_DOCUMENTS_SP_DEFAULT INTO ( SUBPARTITION DIV_SP_2018 VALUES ('2017') TABLESPACE DIV_2018 , SUBPARTITION DIV_SP_2018_01 VALUES ('2017-01') TABLESPACE DIV_2018 , SUBPARTITION DIV_SP_2018_02 VALUES ('2017-02') TABLESPACE DIV_2018 , SUBPARTITION DIV_SP_2018_03 VALUES ('2017-03') TABLESPACE DIV_2018 , SUBPARTITION DIV_SP_2018_04 VALUES ('2017-04') TABLESPACE DIV_2018 , SUBPARTITION DIV_SP_2018_05 VALUES ('2017-05') TABLESPACE DIV_2018 , SUBPARTITION DIV_SP_2018_06 VALUES ('2017-06') TABLESPACE DIV_2018 , SUBPARTITION DIV_SP_2018_07 VALUES ('2017-07') TABLESPACE DIV_2018 , SUBPARTITION DIV_SP_2018_08 VALUES ('2017-08') TABLESPACE DIV_2018 , SUBPARTITION DIV_SP_2018_09 VALUES ('2017-09') TABLESPACE DIV_2018 , SUBPARTITION DIV_SP_2018_10 VALUES ('2017-10') TABLESPACE DIV_2018 , SUBPARTITION DIV_SP_2018_11 VALUES ('2017-11') TABLESPACE DIV_2018 , SUBPARTITION DIV_SP_2018_12 VALUES ('2017-12') TABLESPACE DIV_2018 , SUBPARTITION DIV_DOCUMENTS_SP_DEFAULT) UPDATE INDEXES PARALLEL 8;
This time, the split was considerably faster, since the resulting partitions for 2018 ended up with zero rows in them. Oracle can therefore perform a "fast split".
