We have history_details table it contains (365*3) 1095 Range partitions (from 01-01-2016 to 31-12-2016) and Maxvalue partition.


i need to split max partition as (365*3) 1095 Range partitions (from 01-01-2017 to 31-12-2017).

i am following ALTER TABLE HISTORY_DETAILS PARTITION DND_MAXPART AT(.....

in this approach it will take each partition 8mb tablespace (it is taking empty rows partition also).

Note: maxpartition having large no of data.

can u tell me any solution for reclaim usage

Reclaim space for a couple of GB? When you know the price of EE and "partitioning" options and the price of disks, it seems quite silly to optimize space at this level.

Anyway, the best way for you should be to go to INTERVAL partitioning and no more care about all this.

As long as "Maxvalue partition" is empty and can be dropped. Otherwise it will be a bit more complex.

I wonder how others were able to find out your demand as I cannot deduce it from your post.

Firstly, from 11.2.0.2, the empty partitions may not occupy any physical space.
http://docs.oracle.com/database/122/SQLRF/CREATE-TABLE.htm#GUID-F9CE0CC3-13AE-4744-A43C-EAC7A71AAAB6__CEGBDDBC
Did you really check the space occupied by those "each partition 8mb tablespace"? How?
Are you really using Oracle version 12c? Which exact one?
Was the table created with explicit SEGMENT CREATION IMMEDIATE?
Does the table hit another its restrictions (e.g. is it in SYSTEM tablespace)?

Then, you write about "maxpartition having large no of data".
And, as the last sentence is evidently cut in the middle, it is not clear to me, "reclaim usage" of what you want/expect - those empty(?) new partitons or the partition for MAXVALUE?
Or is it referring to something else than the space occupied by partitions?

Why are you manually creating partitions? You can easily have the database automatically create them for you. A link for how to do it follows
