Purge Dates

Important! When specifying a purge operation, date ranges must correspond to partition boundaries.

When creating partitions, the wgn_partition_util package uses partition end dates to generate partition names. Likewise, when purging partitions, the same package uses the specified date range to identify the partition by name.
