Physical Modeling › Oracle Physical Property Editors › Oracle Table Editor › Oracle Partition Description Dialog

Oracle Partition Description Dialog

The Oracle Partition Description Dialog opens when you click on the Edit Properties column in the Partitions section of the Range option of the Oracle Table Editor, Oracle Materialized Views Editor, or Oracle Materialized View Log Editor Partitions tab.

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 following describes the options for the Oracle Partition Description Dialog:
