Define Regular Storage Properties for Oracle Partition Elements

The Oracle Partition Element Editor dialog opens when you click Partition Element Editor in the Partition Elements section of the Oracle Table Partition Editor dialog.

The partition properties you can assign are identical to those you can assign in the General tab in the Oracle Table Editor, Oracle Materialized Views Editor, and Oracle Materialized View Log Editor. The partition properties however, apply only to the specific partition, and not the entire table, materialized view, or materialized view log.

The Regular Storage tab lets you define the storage properties for a partition element.

Note: When you use the Oracle Table Partition Editor, the constraints that are applied are same as the constraints in an Oracle database. For example, one of the constraints is that you cannot create a partition on a table that is part of a cluster. This constraint applies when you create a partition on an Oracle database therefore it also applies when you use the Oracle Table Partition Editor.

Follow these steps:

  1. Complete the following fields in the Regular Storage tab:
    Regular Storage

    Specifies the type of storage for the selected partition element.

    Tablespace

    Specifies the tablespace that stores the partition data. Select the check box to make the remaining fields editable.

    Extents

    Enter values for the following options for Extents:

    Initial

    Specifies the size of the first extent of the object in bytes.

    Next

    Specifies in bytes the size of the next extent to allocate to the object.

    Percent Increase

    Specifies the percent by which the third and subsequent extents grow over the preceding extent.

    Min Extents

    Specifies the total number of extents to allocate when the object is created.

    Max Extent Type

    Specifies the type of extents that are allocated to the object. Select Unlimited or Specific Value.

    Max Extents

    Specifies the total number of extents, including the first, that Oracle can allocate for the object.

    Compression
    Compress Type

    Specifies the way that you want to compress the tablespace. Select Default, None, or Compress.

    Space Usage

    Enter values for the following options for Space Usage:

    Percent Used

    Specifies the space that is reserved for each data block for future expansion. The value of this parameter is expressed as a whole number and interpreted as a percentage.

    Percent Free

    Specifies the limit Oracle must use to determine when more rows can be added. The value of this parameter is expressed as a whole number and interpreted as a percentage.

    Buffer Pool
    Buffer Pool

    Specifies the type of buffer pool you want to use. Select Keep, Recycle, or Default.

    Transactions
    Initial Concurrent Transactions

    Specifies the initial number of concurrent update transactions that are allocated for data blocks.

    Max Concurrent Transactions

    Specifies the maximum number of concurrent update transactions that are allocated for data blocks.

    Free List
    Free Lists

    Specifies the number of free lists for each of the free list groups for the table, partition, cluster, or index.

    Free List Groups

    Specifies the number of groups of free lists for the database object you are creating.

    Redo Log
    Suppress Logging

    Specifies whether you want to create redo log files.
