11g Partitioning & Subpartitioning
Ten years ago we talked megabytes, five years ago gigabytes, today almost everyone has terabytes of data and the trend is not going to change. Making the skills for managing large databases more and more important. Here is what we cover for beginning and intermediate level developers:
  • Hash partitioning and subpartitioning
  • List partitioning
  • Range partitioning
  • Partitioning Index Organized tables
  • Partitioning with LOB segments

Here's what we cover for the advanced developer and DBA:

  • Altering partitions
  • Merging partitions
  • Dropping partitions
  • Indexing partitions with DBMS_INDEX_UTL

PSOUG's hands-on Partitioning Workshop covers hash, list, and range partitioning and subpartitioning. Creating partitions from stand-alone tables and stand-alone tables from partitions. Partition pruning, indexing, and other valuable topics. This three hour workshop is only $100/person.
