QUESTION 103-multipartition operations

Which three operations can be performed as multipartition operations in Oracle Database 12c? (Choose three.)
在Oracle数据库12c中，哪三种操作可以作为multipartition操作执行(选择三个。）
A. Merge partitions of a list partitioned table.
B. Drop partitions of a list partitioned table.
C. Coalesce partitions of a hash-partitioned global index.
D. Move partitions of a range-partitioned table.
E. Rename partitions of a range partitioned table.
F. Merge partitions of a reference partitioned index.
Correct Answer: ABF

Multipartition maintenance enables adding, dropping, truncate, merge, split operations on multiple partitions.
A: Merge Multiple Partitions:
The new “ALTER TABLE … MERGE PARTITIONS” help merge multiple partitions or subpartitions with a
single statement. When merging multiple partitions, local and global index operations and semantics for
inheritance of unspecified physical attributes are the same for merging two partitions.
B: Drop Multiple Partitions:
The new “ALTER TABLE … DROP PARTITIONS” help drop multiple partitions or subpartitions with a
single statement.
Example:
view plaincopy to clipboardprint?
SQL> ALTER TABLE Tab_tst1 DROP PARTITIONS
Tab_tst1_PART5, Tab_tst1_PART6, Tab_tst1_PART7;
Table altered
SQL>
Restrictions:
- You can’t drop all partitions of the table.
- If the table has a single partition, you will get the error: ORA-14083: cannot drop the only partition of a
partitioned.
