please support me to drop big partition from a huge table (~9 TB)

in SQL Performance (MOSC) 3 commentsAnswered

Dears,

We are facing a critical issue while attempting to drop a partition from a very large partitioned table (~9 TB). The DROP PARTITION operation ran for approximately 18 hours and did not drop, after which the database server experienced:

* Library cache lock

* The session performing the DROP PARTITION was found in status = 'KILLED' after around 17 hours from starting the dropping process.

* Many trace files were generated during the operation

Appreciate your kind support/recommendations, thanks.

Howdy, Stranger!
