分区(Partition)一直是Oracle数据库引以为傲的一项技术，正是分区的存在让Oracle高效的处理海量数据成为可能，在Oracle 11g中，分区技术在易用性和可扩展性上再次得到了增强。在10g的Oracle版本中，要对分区表做调整，尤其是对RANGE分区添加新的分区都需要DBA手动定期添加，或都使用存储过程进行管理。在11G的版本中的Interval Partition不再需要DBA去干预新分区的添加，Oracle会自动去执行这样的操作，减少了DBA的工作量。Interval Partition是Range分区的一个扩展。
使用Interval Partition也有一些限制：
You can only specify one partitioning key column,and it must be of
NUMBERorDATEtype.Interval partitioning is not supported for index-organized tables.
You cannot create a domain index on an interval-partitioned table.
Interval Partition也可以创建复合分区：
Interval-range
Interval-hash
Interval-list
创建Interval分区表：
sys@ORCL>CREATETABLEinterval_sales
2(prod_idNUMBER(6)
3,cust_idNUMBER
4,time_idDATE
5,channel_idCHAR(1)
6,promo_idNUMBER(6)
7,quantity_soldNUMBER(3)
8,amount_soldNUMBER(10,2)
9)
10PARTITIONBYRANGE(time_id)
11INTERVAL(NUMTOYMINTERVAL(1,'MONTH'))

可以看到INTERVAL_sales表多了一个SYS_P41分区，分区的HIGH_VALUE为2010-02-01，分区是增加了一个月
再插入间隔再大一些的测试数据看看变化
sys@ORCL>insertintointerval_salesvalues(2,to_date('2010-08-03',10);

可以看出插入2010-08-03的数据会创建一个2010-09-01的分区，然后再插入2010-05-03的数据会创建2010-06-01的分区，说明所有自动创建的分区都会按整个月来控制。控制这个时间间隔的就是NUMTOYMINTERVAL(1,'MONTH')。
NUMTOYMINTERVAL(1,'YEAR') 一年
NUMTOYMINTERVAL(1,'MONTH') 一个月
NUMTODSINTERVAL(1,'DAY') 一天
NUMTODSINTERVAL(1,'HOUR') 一小时
NUMTODSINTERVAL(1,'MINUTE') 一分钟
NUMTODSINTERVAL(1,'SECOND') 一秒
使用数值做分区键也可以使用Interval Partition
sys@ORCL>createtableinterval_num
2(idnumber,3namevarchar2(20),4time_iddate
5)
6partitionbyrange(id)
7interval(20)
8(partitionp0valueslessthan(20));

使用Interval Partition的注意事项，自动创建的分区名都是自动分配的，类似SYS_P**的，如果觉得这种名字不合规的话可以进行修改
sys@ORCL>altertableinterval_numrenamepartitionsys_p44top1; Tablealtered. sys@ORCL>selecttable_owner,high_valuefromdba_tab_partitionswheretable_name='INTERVAL_NUM'; TABLE_OWNETABLE_NAMEPARTITION_NAMEHIGH_VALUE ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYSINTERVAL_NUMP020 SYSINTERVAL_NUMP140
非Interval Partition转为Partition，使用alter table table_name set interval(...);
sys@ORCL>createtableinterval_num 2 (idnumber,4time_iddate 5) 6partitionbyrange(id) 7(partitionp0valueslessthan(20)); Tablecreated. sys@ORCL>insertintointerval_num(id)values(1); 1rowcreated. sys@ORCL>insertintointerval_num(id)values(21); insertintointerval_num(id)values(21) * ERRORatline1: ORA-14400:insertedpartitionkeydoesnotmaptoanypartition sys@ORCL>altertableinterval_numsetinterval(20); Tablealtered. sys@ORCL>insertintointerval_num(id)values(21); 1rowcreated. sys@ORCL>selecttable_owner,high_valuefromdba_tab_partitionswheretable_name='INTERVAL_NUM'; TABLE_OWNER TABLE_NAME PARTITION_HIGH_VALUE ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SYS INTERVAL_NUM P0 20 SYS INTERVAL_NUM SYS_P4540
