11g Partitioning & Subpartitioning
Ten years ago we talked megabytes, five years ago gigabytes, today almost everyone has terabytes of data. In 11gR1 Oracle has extended the definition of a tablespace to include Petabytes and Exabytes. The trend is not going to change. Databases are getting bigger: A lot bigger.

This change makes possessing the skills for managing large databases more and more important. Here is what we cover in our one day, hands on, partitioning class:
  • Hash partitioning and subpartitioning
  • Interval partitioning
  • List partitioning and subpartitioning
  • Range partitioning and subpartitioning
  • Partitioning Index Organized tables
  • Partitioning with LOB segments
  • Partitioning by Reference (foreign key)
  • Virtual column partitioning
     
  • Altering partitions
  • Merging partitions
  • Dropping partitions
  • Indexing partitions including the use of the DBMS_INDEX_UTL built-in package
     
  • Tuning with paritioning
  • Partition pruning

This one day class is $500/person.

Syllabus
8:30-9:00am Introductions Join us for coffee and pastries while you complete your registration.

To attend this class you must register at least one day in advance.
9:00-10:00am Discussion Partitioning Concepts and Architecture
The discussion focuses on the issues related to working with and maintaining very large databases and the concepts and architecture of partitioned and composite partitioned tables.

The instructor will demonstrate the basic techniques with heap and index-organized tables as well as with tables containing LOB segments.
10:00-11:30am Lab 1 Hands-on Partitioning
This lab is designed to give students an opportunity to work with all aspects of building partitioned tables under the guidance of the instructor. Students will build the following partitioned tables:
  • Hash partition
  • Interval partition
  • IOT partition
  • List partition
  • LOB partition
  • Range partition
  • Referential partition
  • Virtual column partition

With each table type students will have an opportunity to load the table with data and observe its behavior using EXPLAIN PLAN and Autotrace.

11:30-12:30pm Lunch Lunch
12:30-1:30pm Lab 2 Hands-on Composite Partitioning
This lab is a hands-on opportunity for studnets to build composite partitioned tables under the guidance of the instructor. Students will build the following tables:
  • List List
  • List Range
  • Range Hash
  • Range List
  • Range Range

With each table type students will have an opportunity to load the table with data and observe its behavior using EXPLAIN PLAN and Autotrace.

1:30-2:30pm Lab 3 Partition Alteration
This hands-on lab is designed to give students an opportunity to work with the ALTER TABLE statement using the tables built in Labs 1 and 2. Lab work will include:
  • Moving partitions and subpartitions
  • Merging partitions and subpartitions
  • Modifying a subpartition template
  • Modifying the list of a list partition
  • Converting a partition to a stand-alone heap table
  • Partition renaming
  • Partition splitting
2:30-3:15pm Discussion Indexing Strategies
In this instructor led discussion consisting of a combination of lecture and live-demo students students will learn about indexing strategies for partitioned and composite partitioned tables.
3:15-4:30pm Lab 5 Partition Indexing
In this lab students will work through exercises demonstrating "best practices" for indexing partitioned tables and gain experience with both global and local indexes and their implications for management and performance. Students will use DBMS_INDEX_UTL to create indexes.
 
Instructors
Dan Morgan is an Oracle Ace Director, a 10g and 11g Beta tester for Oracle, and the instructor of the Oracle program at the University of Washington since its inception in 1999. He began his IT career in 1969 with an IBM 370/145, punch cards, and Fortran IV, and though he will vigorously deny it, wrote COBOL for a decade before moving into Oracle about when version 6 hit the market.

In addition to Dan's work at the university he is the Education Chair of the Puget Sound Oracle Users Group, a member of UKOUG, and a member of the British-American Chamber of Commerce in Seattle. He is also a frequent lecturer at training events and at conferences and has presented at Oracle OpenWorld on RAC (2005), at Seattle OracleDay (2004-2007), at numerous government and corporate training events including Apple Computer, Argonne National Laboratory, Boeing Commercial Airplane Group, Dow Jones & Company, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, NASA, T-Mobile, US Navy at Pearl Harbor, and Weyerhaeuser to name but a few and presented on Streams and Change Data Capture at UKOUG in 2006.

Dan Morgan is the Morgan behind the "Morgan's Library" website that contains the many demos he has  created for his University of Washington classes as well as for his frequent lectures. He is the former publisher of MacTech Journal, has presented Oracle technical lectures in the US, Canada, Great Britain, and Japan. Morgan is also the author of this course.
