Instead you must first issue an ALTER TABLE statement with the NO FLASHBACK ARCHIVE clause and then issue an ALTER TABLE statement with the FLASHBACK ARCHIVE clause. Refer to the index_subpartition_clause (in CREATE INDEX) for more information on this component of the update_index_partition clause. If you do not specify new subpartition names, then Oracle Database assigns names of the form SYS_SUBPn Any attributes you do not specify are inherited from the current subpartition. The next value returned by the sequence generator will be the high water mark + INCREMENT BY integer for increasing sequences, or the high water mark - INCREMENT BY integer for decreasing sequences. For a nonpartitioned table, you can use ALTER TABLE MOVE OVERFLOW to move the segment to a different tablespace. Restriction on Moving Table SubpartitionsThe only clauses of the partitioning_storage_clause you can specify are the TABLESPACE clause and table_compression. Specify INMEMORY to enable a table for the IM column store, or to change the inmemory_parameters for a table that is already enabled for the IM column store. The add_range_partition_clause lets you add a new range partition to the high end of a range-partitioned or composite range-partitioned table (after the last existing partition). This clause has the same semantics in CREATE TABLE and ALTER TABLE. You can update these indexes by using the update_index_clauses. In the partitioning_storage_clause, the only clauses you can specify for subpartitions are the TABLESPACE clause and table compression. The default is SEGMENT. The first statement splits the existing default partition into a new south partition and a default partition: The next statement merges the resulting default partition with the asia partition: The next statement re-creates the asia partition by splitting the default partition: Dropping a Table Partition: ExampleThe following statement drops partition p3 created in "Adding a Table Partition with a LOB and Nested Table Storage: Examples": Exchanging Table Partitions: ExampleThis example creates the table exchange_table with the same structure as the partitions of the list_customers table created in "List Partitioning Example". If you specify the allocate_extent_clause, then Oracle Database allocates an extent for each subpartition of partition. RETENTIONFor BasicFiles LOBs, if the database is in automatic undo mode, then you can specify RETENTION instead of PCTVERSION to instruct Oracle Database to retain old versions of this LOB. This operation establishes correspondence between the indextype metadata and the base table. If you require a different CHUNK value for a column after it has been created, use ALTER TABLE MOVE. You can update all these indexes during this operation using the update_index_clauses. This clause is not valid for hash subpartitions. Additional Prerequisites for Partitioning OperationsIf you are not the owner of the table, then you need the DROP ANY TABLE privilege in order to use the drop_table_partition or truncate_table_partition clause. Specify TRUNCATE subpartition_extended_names to remove all rows from individual subpartitions. You can specify new values for physical attributes (with some restrictions, as noted in the sections that follow), logging, and storage parameters. Modifying the indexing property of table subpartitions has the same effect on index subpartitions as modifying the indexing property of table partitions has on index partitions. If this operation causes data to be rehashed among partitions, then the database marks UNUSABLE any corresponding local index partitions. These data sets are so voluminous that traditional data . AT ClauseThe AT clause applies only to range partitions and lets you split one range partition into two range partitions. For list partitions, all specified partition values for the new partitions must exist in the current partition. All encrypted columns in the table are reencrypted using the new key and, if you specify the USING clause of the encryption_spec, a new encryption algorithm. If the index already has a partition with such a name, then Oracle Database generates a partition name of the form SYS_Pn. Refer to table_compression for the full semantics of the ROW STORE COMPRESS ADVANCED clause. If table is an index-organized table, then you can add only one list subpartition at a time. Specify COMPRESS to instruct Oracle Database to combine the primary key index blocks of the index-organized table where possible to free blocks for reuse. You can move any table to new tablespace in Oracle with following command. If you attempt to alter the storage attributes of tables in locally managed tablespaces, then Oracle Database raises an error. Use the supplemental_table_logging clause to add or drop a redo log group or one or more supplementally logged columns in a redo log group. Partitions and LOB partitions you create subsequently will inherit these values unless you override them explicitly when creating the partition or LOB partition. Any attributes you do not specify explicitly for the new partition are inherited from table-level defaults. The new index subpartitions inherit the names of the new table subpartitions unless those names are already held by index subpartitions. Use the coalesce_table_partition clause to indicate that Oracle Database should select the last hash partition, distribute its contents into one or more remaining partitions as determined by the hash function, and then drop the last partition. Oracle Database automatically invalidates all dependent objects, such as views, triggers, and stored program units. The shrink_clause lets you compact an individual subpartition segment. To convert an existing range-partitioned table to interval partitioning. Restriction on NOT INCLUDING DATAYou cannot specify NOT INCLUDING DATA if the table contains columns in Oracle8 release 8.0.x image format. CREATE TABLE TEST15 (Name VARCHAR2 (10), Salary NUMBER (10) CONSTRAINT CHK_SALARY CHECK (Salary >= 5000)); Existing subpartitions are not affected by this clause. Use the rename_partition_subpart clause to rename a table partition or subpartition to new_name. Use this clause to add, delete, enable, or disable Automatic Data Optimization policies for the table. This is also the case for the MONTH and MONTHS keywords, and the YEAR and YEARS keywords. You can remove these orphaned index entries by specifying COALESCE CLEANUP in the ALTER INDEX statement or in the modify_index_partition clause. This type of policy instructs the database to compress database blocks in which all the rows have not been modified for a specified period of time. You need not specify the name of the partitions, but you must specify their attributes in the order in which they were created. Disabling a CHECK Constraint: ExampleThe following statement defines and disables a CHECK constraint on the employees table: The constraint check_comp ensures that no employee's total compensation exceeds $5000. 3. Restriction on Merging Table PartitionsIf table is an index-organized table, or if a local domain index is defined on table, then you can merge only two partitions at a time. Use the PARTITION clause to specify tablespace storage for the segment by partition. GROUPSpecify GROUP to create a group-level compression policy. Refer to the CREATE TABLE clause CHUNK integer for more information.

"Specifying Segment Space Management for a Tablespace: Example". In this case only, you can specify LOB storage for the column using the LOB_storage_clause. SHRINK SPACE COMPACT is equivalent to specifying ALTER [INDEX | TABLE COALESCE. You cannot specify the shrink_clause for SecureFiles LOBs. Also, if you mark a LONG column as UNUSED, then you cannot add another LONG column to the table until you actually drop the unused LONG column. You cannot disable row movement in a reference-partitioned table unless row movement is also disabled in the parent table. For partitioned index-organized tables, you can also update the mapping table in conjunction with partition changes. However, for an external table you cannot: Add a LONG, LOB, or object type column or change the data type of an external table column to any of these data types. You can find the order of the partitions by querying the PARTITION_NAME and PARTITION_POSITION columns of the USER_IND_PARTITIONS view. This clause specifies new default values for the attributes of the partition identified in partition_extended_name. The DROP and KEEP clauses are valid only when you are disabling a unique or primary key constraint. If you specify a column list, then it cannot contain duplicates. The LOB data segments for columns ad_source_text and ad_finaltext will reside in the omf_ts2 tablespace, and will inherit all other attributes first from the table-level defaults, and then from the tablespace defaults. The REBUILD FREEPOOLS clause removes all the old versions of data from the LOB column. The INTO clause lets you split one range partition into two or more range partitions, or one list partition into two or more list partitions. When we run this on the CDB, we see this: SYS . Any other attributes changed in this clause will be changed in subpartitions of partition as well, overriding existing values. Specify this clause to enable or disable table for row archival. Restriction on Altering Varray Column PropertiesYou cannot specify the TABLESPACE clause of LOB_parameters as part of this clause. If such rows do exist, then Oracle Database returns an error. Specify NO INMEMORY to disable a table for the IM column store. Use the parallel_clause to specify whether to parallelize the creation of the new partition. The following example decrypts the customer.online_acct_pw column: Allocating Extents: ExampleThe following statement allocates an extent of 5 kilobytes for the employees table and makes it available to instance 4: Because this statement omits the DATAFILE parameter, Oracle Database allocates the extent in one of the data files belonging to the tablespace containing the table. Use this clause to drop range or list subpartitions from a range, list, or hash composite-partitioned table. The RENAME CONSTRAINT clause lets you rename any existing constraint on table. PCTTHRESHOLD, prefix_compression, and the alter_overflow_clause are valid only for partitioned index-organized tables. The identity_clause has the same semantics when you add an identity column that it has when you create an identity column. This clause is valid only when you are altering the parent table of a reference-partitioned table. Also, because the nested table is defined as a table of scalar values (REF values), Oracle Database implicitly provides the column name COLUMN_VALUE for the storage table. The UPDATE statement can be used to copy the data from one column to another using a T-SQL query. varray_col_propertiesThe varray_col_properties clause lets you specify separate storage characteristics for the LOB in which a varray will be stored. However, if some segments of a partitioned table reside in a locally managed tablespace and other segments reside in a dictionary-managed tablespace, then the database alters the storage attributes of the segments in the dictionary-managed tablespace but does not alter the attributes of the segments in the locally managed tablespace, and does not raise an error. Refer to XMLSchema_spec in the documentation on CREATE TABLE for more information on the ALLOW and DISALLOW clauses. See the CREATE TABLE clause nested_table_col_properties for more information about these clauses.). The data type of the expression must match the data type specified for the column. You cannot drop a column on which a domain index has been built. The index_partition_description lets you specify physical attributes, tablespace storage, and logging for each partition of each local index. For a range-, list-, or hash-partitioned table, the values you specify are the default values for the table and the actual values for every existing partition, overriding any values already set for the partitions. For example, if user BETH adds a column referring to public or private synonym SYN1 and the synonym refers to PETER.SEQ7, then the column will store PETER.SEQ7 as the default. Using an ALTER TABLE statement Syntax The syntax for creating a foreign key in an ALTER TABLE statement is: ALTER TABLE table_name ADD CONSTRAINT constraint_name FOREIGN KEY (column1, column2, . Restriction on Coalescing Table PartitionsIf you update global indexes using the update_all_indexes_clause, then you can specify only the keywords UPDATE INDEXES, not the subclause. The following example adds a column defined with DEFAULT ON NULL to a table. Otherwise, these columns will remain in table and revert to regular table columns. For expr, specify a valid number or interval expression. However, the global statistics for the partitioned table will not be altered. Use the DROP VALUES clause to reduce the subpartition_key_value list of subpartition by eliminating one or more subpartition_key_value. If the table has interval reference-partitioned child tables, then the new tablespace storage is inherited by any child table that does not have its own table-level default tablespace. LOB_storage_clauseUse this clause to move a LOB segment to a different tablespace. If you would like to restrict the references to point only to objects stored in the departments table, then you could do so by adding a scope constraint on the dept column as follows: The preceding ALTER TABLE statement will succeed only if the staff table is empty. List partitions and system partitions need not be adjacent in order to be merged. If you do not specify integer, then the database sets the default of 512. If you specify the parallel_clause with the update_index_clauses, then the database parallelizes the index update, not the drop operation. Only the LOBs named are affected. Use the modify_column_clauses to modify the properties of an existing column, the visibility of an existing column, or the substitutability of an existing object type column. Use this clause to specify a storage tiering policy. If the table is not empty, then you can only increase the leading field or fractional second of a datetime or interval column. LOB_compression_clauseThis clause is valid only for SecureFiles LOBs. The partition bound of the first specified range partition must be greater than the partition bound for the next lowest partition in the table (if there is one). You must specify range partitions in ascending order of their partition bounds. All indexes defined on any of the target columns are also dropped. You must include this clause when creating a table with columns or column attributes whose type is a nested table. Use the indexing_clause to modify the indexing property of a table subpartition. If table is composite partitioned, then the LOB data and LOB index segments for the subpartitions of the partition are truncated. Therefore, the response time is faster than when you execute the DROP clause. The order of compression types from lowest to highest is: Refer to table_compression for the full semantics of this clause. If you want the REF values in the dept column of staff to also store the rowids, then issue the following statement: ALTER TABLE staff ADD (REF (dept) WITH ROWID); If you specify this clause, then Oracle Database will always store the varray in a LOB, even if it is small enough to be stored inline. Columns in tables owned by SYS cannot be marked as UNUSED. The clauses in this section apply only to partitioned tables. You cannot specify the ONLINE clause for heap-organized tables that contain object types or on which bitmap join indexes or domain indexes are defined. The following statement creates table vet_service with nested table column client and storage table client_tab. If table is index organized, then Oracle Database splits any corresponding mapping table partition and places it in the same tablespace as the parent index-organized table partition. Merging Two Table Partitions: ExampleThe following statement merges back into one partition the partitions created in "Splitting Table Partitions: Examples": The next statement reverses the example in "Splitting Table Partitions: Examples": Merging Four Adjacent Range Partitions: Example. add_hash_subpartition This clause is valid only for range-hash composite partitions. Oracle Database populates the new subpartition with rows rehashed from the other subpartition(s) of partition as determined by the hash function. Specify WITHOUT VALIDATION if you do not want Oracle Database to check the proper mapping of rows in the exchanged table. DROP IDENTITYUse this clause to remove the identity property from a column, including the sequence generator and NOT NULL and NOT DEFERRABLE constraints. Tables and/or indexes in the select statement accessed have the parallel degree setting at the object . You can remove these orphaned index entries by specifying COALESCE CLEANUP in the ALTER INDEX statement or in the modify_index_partition clause. If table has nested table columns, then for each such column Oracle Database exchanges nested table partition segments with corresponding nested table segments of the nonpartitioned table. UNUSABLE LOCAL INDEXES marks UNUSABLE the local index partition or index subpartition associated with partition. Instead, you must use the split_table_partition clause to split the DEFAULT partition. ENCRYPT encryption_spec | DECRYPTUse this clause to decrypt an encrypted column, to encrypt an unencrypted column, or to change the integrity algorithm or the SALT option of an encrypted column. If the table contains LOB columns, then you can use the LOB_storage_clause to move the LOB data and LOB index segments associated with this subpartition. The alter_mapping_table_clauses is valid only if table is index organized and has a mapping table. PRIMARY KEYSpecify PRIMARY KEY to drop the primary key constraint of table. If you specify this clause for an index-organized table, then you cannot specify any other clauses in the same statement. If table is an index-organized table, then you can drop only one subpartition at a time. Refer to the CREATE TABLE clause CACHE READS for full information on this clause. Further, the only clauses you can specify in the partitioning_storage_clause are the TABLESPACE clause and table_compression. Drop/recreate is the only possible way to do this now. Refer to the indexing_clause of modify_table_partition for details. The syntax and semantics of the parallel_clause, enable_disable_clause, external_data_properties, and REJECT LIMIT clause are the same as described for CREATE TABLE. Dependent views, triggers, functions, procedures, and packages are invalidated. When you disable a table for the IM column store, any column-level data compression method settings are lost. Otherwise, the new subpartitions inherit the default indexing property for the table. answered Dec 24, 2013 at 6:22. All currently executing transactions must commit or roll back before Oracle Database enables the table lock. By default, Oracle Database compacts the segment, adjusts the high water mark, and releases the recuperated space immediately. This clause lets you alter some of the characteristics of an existing index-organized table. The value_list is a comma-delimited, ordered list of literal values corresponding to the partitioning key columns. For range-list and list-list composite-partitioned tables, you cannot specify subpartitions for the new partitions at all. When you increase the size of a VARCHAR2, NVARCHAR2, or RAW column to exceed 4000 bytes, Oracle Database performs an in-place length extension and does not migrate the inline storage to external LOB storage. Additional Prerequisite for Referring to Editioned ObjectsTo specify an edition in the evaluation_edition_clause or the unusable_editions_clause, you must have the USE privilege on the edition. ONLINESpecify ONLINE to indicate that DML operations on the table will be allowed while dropping the constraint. You can specify only one constraint for each drop_constraint_clause, but you can specify multiple drop_constraint_clause in one statement. When modifying a hash partition, in the partition_attributes clause, you can specify only the allocate_extent_clause and deallocate_unused_clause. If you drop a BFILE column, then only the locators stored in that column are removed, not the files referenced by the locators. I assume I need some ALTER statement. This statement has no effect on any existing values in existing rows. If you specify an inline constraint that conflicts with NOT NULL and NOT DEFERRABLE, then an error is raised. You can specify the indexing_clause in the modify_range_partition, modify_hash_partition, and modify_list_partition clauses. To add a new column to a table, you use the ALTER TABLE statement as follows: ALTER TABLE table_name ADD column_name data_type constraint ; Code language: SQL (Structured Query Language) (sql) In this statement: When creating a row-level policy, you must specify ROW STORE COMPRESS ADVANCED compression and you must specify AFTER ilm_time_period OF NO MODIFICATION. Is it better to run as a single statement or to break it into steps while the database is under load. Oracle Database SecureFiles and Large Objects Developer's Guide for information on LONG to LOB migration, ALTER INDEX for information on dropping and rebuilding indexes. Therefore, you cannot specify this clause as part of the modify_col_properties clause. An object invalidated by this statement is automatically revalidated when next referenced. You can remove these orphaned index entries by specifying COALESCE CLEANUP in the ALTER INDEX statement or in the modify_index_partition clause. Because of this omission, Oracle Database does not drop the unique key if any foreign key references it. Restriction on CASCADEYou cannot specify CASCADE if a parent key in the reference-partitioned table hierarchy is referenced by multiple partitioning constraints. This example assumes that you are connected to the database as user hr. Restrictions on Nested Table Column PropertiesNested table column properties are subject to the following restrictions: You cannot specify CLUSTER as part of the physical_properties clause. The ALTER TABLE statement in Oracle is a Data Definition Language (DDL) statement that allows you to modify the structure of an existing table. Both the source and target must have identical storage attributes for any LOB columns. This keyword causes any hidden columns containing typeid information or data for subtype . If you drop a range partition and later insert a row that would have belonged to the dropped partition, then the database stores the row in the next higher partition. You can update all indexes on heap-organized tables during this operation using the update_index_clauses. This clause facilitates high-speed data loading when used with transportable tablespaces. The storage table is created in the same schema and the same tablespace as the parent table. For each partition or subpartition truncated, Oracle Database also truncates corresponding local index partitions and subpartitions. You cannot drop a primary key constraint (even with the CASCADE clause) on a table that uses the primary key as its object identifier (OID). You cannot modify the storage parameters of an external table. For an index-organized table, the index_org_table_clause of the move_table_clause lets you additionally specify overflow segment attributes. See the alter_mapping_table_clauses . Use the add_table_partition clause to add one or more range, list, or system partitions to table, or to add one hash partition to table. Therefore, you cannot specify the update_index_partition or update_index_subpartition clauses. Restrictions on DROP ALL STORAGEThis clause is subject to the same restrictions as described in "Restrictions on Deferred Segment Creation". The primary key constraint of an index-organized table can never be dropped, so you cannot drop a primary key column even if you have specified CASCADE CONSTRAINTS. Otherwise, Oracle Database returns an error. Instead, use the drop_table_partition clause. USABLE | UNUSABLE. It uses the tablespaces created in "Creating Basic Tablespaces: Examples". If table is index organized, then Oracle Database assigns the same name to the corresponding primary key index partition as well as to any existing overflow partitions and mapping table partitions. If you explicitly move any of out-of-line columns (LOBs, varrays, nested table columns) in the index-organized table, then the overflow data segment is also rebuilt. If any column value would raise an error, such as a data type conversion error, then the row is rejected even if that column was not referenced in the select list. The records_per_block_clause lets you specify whether Oracle Database restricts the number of records that can be stored in a block. Notes on Modifying Table PartitionsThe following notes apply to operations on range, list, and hash table partitions: For all types of table partition, in the partition_attributes clause, the shrink_clause lets you compact an individual partition segment. All other dependent objects are invalidated. When you specify this clause, Oracle Database checks to ensure that no rows with this value exist. The LOB segments for the remaining columns in partition p2b remain in the tablespaces in which they resided prior to this ALTER statement. Oracle Database moves local index partitions corresponding to the specified partition. The syntax and semantics for modifying a system partition are the same as those for modifying a hash partition. The LOB tablespace for a varray defaults to the tablespace of the containing table. Oracle Text Reference for information on ALTER TABLE statements in conjunction with Oracle Text Additional Topics: Prerequisites Syntax Semantics Examples Prerequisites The table must be in your own schema, or you must have ALTER object privilege on the table, or you must have ALTER ANY TABLE system privilege. To determine whether the table contains such columns, refer to the V80_FMT_IMAGE column of the USER_TAB_COLUMNS data dictionary view. Use this clause to instruct Oracle Database whether to compress data segments to reduce disk and memory use. The space is subsequently available only for inserts and updates to the same partition(s) or subpartition(s). If you do not specify ALWAYS or BY DEFAULT, then the current generation type is retained. This clause lets you update the index partition you are changing during the DDL operation, eliminating the need to rebuild the index after the DDL. The INTO clause lets you split one range subpartition into two or more range subpartitions, or one list subpartition into two or more list subpartitions. See the external_table_clause (in CREATE TABLE). Restrictions on Splitting Table SubpartitionsSplitting table subpartitions is subject to the following restrictions: You cannot specify this clause for a hash subpartition. Refer to identity_options for more information. When you merge composite range partitions or composite list partitions, range-list or list-list composite partitions, you cannot specify subpartition descriptions. To change an interval-partitioned table back to a range-partitioned table. MINIMIZESpecify MINIMIZE to instruct Oracle Database to calculate the largest number of records in any block in the table and to limit future inserts so that no block can contain more than that number of records. INTO clause lets you describe the partitions resulting from splitting one list partition into two list partitions. The database also creates new segments for nested table column ad_textdocs_ntab. This restriction is removed starting with Oracle Database 12c Release 1 (12.1.0.2). See "ENCRYPT encryption_spec | DECRYPT" for more information. Existing statistics for the table being exchanged into the partitioned table will be exchanged. Oracle Database marks UNUSABLE the local index partitions corresponding to one or more absorbing partitions. This is the default. You cannot use this clause to move a LOB segment if the table contains a LONG column. The new constraint name cannot be the same as any existing constraint on any object in the same schema. CASCADESpecify CASCADE to truncate the corresponding partition(s) or subpartition(s) in all reference-partitioned child tables of table. If the table contains LOB columns, then you can also specify partition-level attributes for one or more LOB items. Adding a Table Column: ExampleThe following statement adds to the countries table a column named duty_pct of data type NUMBER and a column named visa_needed of data type VARCHAR2 with a size of 3 and a CHECK integrity constraint: Adding a Virtual Table Column: ExampleThe following statement adds to a copy of the hr.employees table a column named income, which is a combination of salary plus commission. Restrictions on Adding List PartitionsYou cannot add a list partition if you have already defined a DEFAULT partition for the table. You cannot specify the PCTUSED parameter in segment_attributes for the index segment of an index-organized table. To use the flashback_archive_clause to disable historical tracking for the table, you must have the FLASHBACK ARCHIVE ADMINSTER system privilege or you must be logged in as SYSDBA. If you do change a LONG or LONG RAW column to a LOB, then the only other clauses you can specify in this ALTER TABLE statement are the DEFAULT clause and the LOB_storage_clause. CACHE, NOCACHE, CACHE READSWhen you modify a LOB column from CACHE or NOCACHE to CACHE READS, or from CACHE READS to CACHE or NOCACHE, you can change the logging attribute. To add the new column to the view, re-create the view using the CREATE VIEW statement with the OR REPLACE clause. Use these to create, change, and remove database tables. The DEFAULT expression cannot include the sequence pseudocolumns CURRVAL or NEXTVAL. ENCRYPT | DECRYPTLOB encryption has the same semantics as column encryption in general. Specify DISABLE ALL TRIGGERS to disable all triggers associated with the table. It deletes all the data in the p1 partition and deallocates the freed space: Updating Global Indexes: ExampleThe following statement splits partition sales_q1_2000 of the sample table sh.sales and updates any global indexes defined on it: Updating Partitioned Indexes: ExampleThe following statement splits partition costs_Q4_2003 of the sample table sh.costs and updates the local index defined on it. Check separate answer for an example. Instead, you must use the modify_LOB_storage_clause. Use the drop_period_clause to drop a valid time dimension from table. You cannot specify both the allocate_extent_clause and the deallocate_unused_clause in the same statement. As described in "Semantics" above, you must first enable Transparent Data Encryption: The following statement adds a new encrypted column online_acct_pw to the oe.customers table, using the default encryption algorithm AES192. You can use the TO clause to specify two or more adjacent range subpartitions to be merged. Syntax of ALTER TABLE in Oracle: The basic syntax for the ALTER TABLE statement in Oracle is: It is now the responsibility of applications processing the column values to interpret them in a particular time zone. To change the state of existing constraints on existing columns, use the constraint_clauses. The database will make a best effort to migrate enough data so that the amount of free space within the tablespace quota reaches the percentage defined by TBS_PERCENT_FREE. UNUSABLE indexes are left unusable, and INVALID global indexes are ignored. COLUMNS CONTINUE (described in sections that follow). The clause lets you specify attributes of partitions that are created by the operation for reference-partitioned child tables of the parent table. If table is index organized, then Oracle Database also truncates any corresponding mapping table partitions and overflow area partitions. Specify READ WRITE to return a read-only table to read/write mode. The new partitions inherit all unspecified physical attributes from the current partition. The database lists any exceptions in the table exceptions. If an index is defined on a virtual column and you modify its evaluation edition or unusable editions, then the database will invalidate all indexes on the virtual column. If the table contains no unused columns, then the statement returns with no errors. Instead use the MODIFY PARTITION COALESCE SUBPARTITION syntax. Oracle Database does not fire a disabled trigger even if the triggering condition is satisfied. This will be a DDL query since we are using it to change the structure of a table. ONLINESpecify ONLINE to indicate that DML operations on the table subpartition will be allowed while moving the table subpartition. Oracle Database marks UNUSABLE all local indexes on table. After each clause you will find links to its component subclauses. The table is stored in tablespaces created in "Creating Oracle Managed Files: Examples". logging_clause for a full description of this clause, Oracle Database VLDB and Partitioning Guide for more information about the logging_clause and parallel DML. Oracle Database stops enforcing the constraint and removes it from the data dictionary. All other attributes are inherited from the current partition. Now, add a new column customer_age into the table customers. Enable. For full information on these clauses, refer to supplemental_log_grp_clause and supplemental_id_key_clause in the documentation on CREATE TABLE. Refer to shrink_clause for additional information on this clause. Use this statement when you want to reclaim the extra disk space from unused columns in the table. It lets you allow or disallow attribute clustering for data movement that occurs during the move table operation specified by the move_table_clause, and the table partition and subpartition maintenance operations specified by the coalesce_table_[sub]partition, merge_table_[sub]partitions, move_table_[sub]partition, and split_table_[sub]partition clauses. You can add LOB columns to nonpartitioned and partitioned tables. nested_table_col_propertiesThe nested_table_col_properties clause lets you specify separate storage characteristics for a nested table, which in turn lets you to define the nested table as an index-organized table. Instead, use the split_table_partition clause to add a partition at the beginning or the middle of the table. Refer to CREATE SEQUENCE for a full description of these parameters and characteristics. If you omit schema, then Oracle Database assumes that table is in your own schema. Use the ilm_policy_clause to specify the policy. If table contains nested table columns, then you can use the split_nested_table_part clause to specify the storage table names and segment attributes of the nested table segments resulting from the split. The Oracle ALTER TABLE syntax is used in all Oracle versions (including 11g) to add, modify, or drop/delete columns in a table. If you specify start_time_column and end_time_column and these columns already exist in table and are populated with data, then for all rows where both columns have non-NULL values, the value of start_time_column must be earlier than the value of end_time_column. You cannot split a system partition. Both salary and commission are NUMBER columns, so the database creates the virtual column as a NUMBER column even though the data type is not specified in the statement: Modifying Table Columns: ExamplesThe following statement increases the size of the duty_pct column: Because the MODIFY clause contains only one column definition, the parentheses around the definition are optional. It has the following effects on partial indexes on the table: Local partial indexes: The table partition is excluded from the index. CREATE TABLE for more information about nested table storage, Oracle Database Object-Relational Developer's Guide for more information about nested tables. Other attributes are always inherited from table-level defaults. For information on whether a table contains data based on an older type version, refer to the DATA_UPGRADED column of the USER_TAB_COLUMNS data dictionary view. Otherwise, the statement aborts and an error is returned. Oracle Database moves the mapping table along with the moved index-organized table partition. The policy will take effect when the function returns TRUE. It lets you specify tablespace storage for one or more subpartitions. When you add a table partition or subpartition and you omit the partition name, the database generates a name using the rules described in "Notes on Partitioning in General". However, if you reuse one of the partition names for the new partition, then the new partition inherits values from the partition whose name is being reused rather than from table-level default values. The split_table_partition clause lets you create, from the partition identified by partition_extended_name, multiple new partitions, each with a new segment, new physical attributes, and new initial extents. If you specify the deallocate_unused_clause, then Oracle Database deallocates unused storage from each subpartition of partition. OF NO MODIFICATION: The policy will take effect after table has not been modified for the specified length of time. add_list_subpartitionThis clause is valid only for range-list and list-list composite partitions. ALL TRIGGERSUse the ALL TRIGGERS clause to enable or disable all triggers associated with the table. You cannot shrink a table that is the master table of an ON COMMIT materialized view. REBUILD FREEPOOLSThis clause applies only to BasicFiles LOBs, not to SecureFiles LOBs. You can drop a column from an index-organized table only if it is not a primary key column. Users who perform subsequent inserts that use the DEFAULT expression must have the INSERT privilege on the table and the SELECT privilege on the sequence. This inmemory_alter_table_clause has the same semantics as the inmemory_table_clause of CREATE TABLE with the following additions: When you change the data compression method for a table that is already enabled for the IM column store, any columns that were previously assigned a specific data compression method will retain their data compression method.
