How To Create Primary Key Partitioned Indexes:
==============================================
Below 10g:
Example:
SQL> -- Create partitioned table TEST_A
SQL>
SQL> CREATE TABLE test_a (col1 number, col2 number, col3 varchar2(20))
2 PARTITION BY RANGE (col1, col2)
3 (partition part_test_a_1 values less than (10, 100),
4 partition part_test_a_2 values less than (20, 200),
5 partition part_test_a_3 values less than (30, 300),
6 partition part_test_a_4 values less than (40, 400));
Table created.
SQL> -- Create partitioned table TEST_B
SQL>
SQL> CREATE TABLE test_b (col1 number, col2 number, col3 varchar2(20))
2 PARTITION BY RANGE (col1, col2)
3 (partition part_test_b_1 values less than (10, 100),
4 partition part_test_b_2 values less than (20, 200),
5 partition part_test_b_3 values less than (30, 300),
6 partition part_test_b_4 values less than (40, 400));
Table created.
SQL> -- Create a non-unique local partitioned index, IX_TEST_A,
SQL> -- on TEST_A
SQL>
SQL> CREATE INDEX ix_test_a ON test_a(col1, col2)
2 LOCAL
3 (partition ix_test_a_1,
4 partition ix_test_a_2,
5 partition ix_test_a_3,
6 partition ix_test_a_4);
Index created.
SQL> -- Create a unique global partitioned index, IX_TEST_B,
SQL> -- on TEST_B
SQL>
SQL> CREATE UNIQUE INDEX ix_test_b1 ON test_b(col1, col2)
2 GLOBAL PARTITION BY RANGE (col1, col2)
3 (partition ix_test_b1_1 values less than (20, 200),
4 partition ix_test_b1_2 values less than (maxvalue, maxvalue));
Index created.
SQL> -- Add a primary key constraint, PK_TEST_A, to TEST_A
SQL>
SQL> ALTER TABLE test_a ADD CONSTRAINT pk_test_a
2 PRIMARY KEY (col2, col1);
Table altered.
SQL> -- Attempt to drop index IX_TEST_A; note the following error...
SQL>
SQL> DROP INDEX ix_test_a;
drop index ix_test_a
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-02429: cannot drop index used for enforcement of unique/primary key
SQL> -- Attempt to create a second index, IX_TEST_B2 on TEST_B
SQL> -- using the same columns used to partition IX_TEST_B1.
SQL> -- Note the following error...
SQL>
SQL> CREATE INDEX ix_test_b2 ON test_b(col1, col2)
2 LOCAL;
create index ix_test_b2 on test_b(col1, col2)
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01408: such column list already indexed
SQL> -- Add a primary key constraint, PK_TEST_B, to TEST_B
SQL>
SQL> ALTER TABLE test_b ADD CONSTRAINT pk_test_b
2 PRIMARY KEY (col1, col2);
Table altered.
SQL> -- Attempt to drop index IX_TEST_B1; note the following error...
SQL>
SQL> DROP INDEX ix_test_b1;
drop index ix_test_b1
*
ERROR at line 1:

SQL> -- A listing of the indexes and their associated partitions.

SQL> SELECT index_name, partition_name, status

The primary key uses the underlying index if the index is built using
the same columns as defined in the primary key. This is consistent
without regard to whether the index was created as a unique or non-unique
index, or if it is a global or local partitioned index. It is important
to note that while in the example a primary key was established on a
non-unique index, this will only occur if the values within the index
are in fact unique. Attempting to enable a primary key constraint when
duplicate values are present within the index will result in the
following error:
"ORA-02437: cannot enable (STEELY.PK_TEST_B) - primary key violated."
Two indexes cannot be created using the same ordered columns. This was
demonstrated above when attempting to create a second index on table
TEST_B. This resulted in the following error:
"ORA-01408: such column list already indexed."
However, changing the order of the columns will permit the creation of
additional indexes using the same columns.
Contrary to the previous note, the column order for index IX_TEST_A and
the definition for the primary key PK_TEST_A were reversed. Yet the
primary key still used IX_TEST_A as the underlying index.
When dropping a primary key constraint from a table, the corresponding
index is also dropped if the index was created as a UNIQUE index. This
behavior is consistent for both LOCAL as well as GLOBAL partitioned
indexes.
To receive the full benefits of partitioning, users/DBA must use the
STORAGE clause when creating partitioned tables/indices.
