¿Can Oracle automatically drop the oldest partition on partitioned tables?
Oracle Database Enterprise Edition Version 19.20.0.0.0.
We created a process/script to maintain partitioned tables by deleting the oldest partitions where the data has already exceeded the retention time.
And Data Warehouse Team say:
"I know that the automatic partition creation and deletion process exists in Oracle. In this sense, I would like to understand a little more why the solution is based on a script, understanding that the ideal is for the same database to carry out this process (adaptation of the tables that do not have the creation process configured and automatic partition deletion).
Please, I appreciate your comments on this."
