FBDA -- 7 : Maintaining Partitioned Source Table

Taking up the TEST_FBDA_PARTITIONED table,  let's look at a couple of Partition Maintenance operations.

SQL> select partition_name, high_value, num_rows
  2  from user_tab_partitions
  3  where table_name = 'TEST_FBDA_PARTITIONED'
  4  order by partition_position
  5  /

PARTITION_NAME   HIGH_VALUE                  NUM_ROWS
---------------- ------------------------- ----------
P_100            101                              100
P_200            201                              100
P_300            301                              100
P_400            401                              100
P_MAX            MAXVALUE                         301

SQL> 

Let's try a TRUNCATE PARTITION

SQL> alter table test_fbda_partitioned truncate partition p_100;

Table truncated.

SQL> 

So, that's supported.

Let's try a SPLIT PARTTIION

SQL> alter table test_fbda_partitioned       
  2  split partition p_max at (501)
  3  into (partition p_500, partition p_max)
  4  /
alter table test_fbda_partitioned
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-55610: Invalid DDL statement on history-tracked table


SQL> 

So, a SPLIT PARTITION fails.  We need to DISASSOCIATE the Flashback Archive.

SQL> execute dbms_flashback_archive.disassociate_fba('HEMANT','TEST_FBDA_PARTITIONED');

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

SQL> select table_name, flashback_archive_name, archive_table_name, status
  2  from user_flashback_archive_tables
  3  where table_name = 'TEST_FBDA_PARTITIONED'
  4  /

TABLE_NAME
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FLASHBACK_ARCHIVE_NAME
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ARCHIVE_TABLE_NAME          STATUS
----------------------------------------------------- -------------
TEST_FBDA_PARTITIONED
FBDA
SYS_FBA_HIST_93342          DISASSOCIATED


SQL> 
SQL> alter table test_fbda_partitioned
  2  split partition p_max at (501)
  3  into (partition p_500, partition p_max)
  4  /

Table altered.

SQL> execute dbms_flashback_archive.reassociate_fba('HEMANT','TEST_FBDA_PARTITIONED');

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

SQL> 
SQL> select table_name, flashback_archive_name, archive_table_name, status
  2  from user_flashback_archive_tables
  3  where table_name = 'TEST_FBDA_PARTITIONED'
  4  /

TABLE_NAME
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FLASHBACK_ARCHIVE_NAME
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ARCHIVE_TABLE_NAME          STATUS
----------------------------------------------------- -------------
TEST_FBDA_PARTITIONED
FBDA
SYS_FBA_HIST_93342          ENABLED


SQL> 

While a Table is disassociated with it's Flashback Archive, DDL that would not normally be permitted may be done under strict control to ensure that there is no data divergence.
