ALTER TABLE...RENAME PARTITION v12

Use the ALTER TABLE… RENAME PARTITION command to rename a table partition. The syntax takes two forms.

The first form renames a partition:

ALTER TABLE <table_name>
 RENAME PARTITION <partition_name>
 TO <new_name>;

The second form renames a subpartition:

ALTER TABLE <table_name>
 RENAME SUBPARTITION <subpartition_name>
 TO <new_name>;

Description

The ALTER TABLE… RENAME PARTITION command renames a partition.

The same behavior as previously described applies for the subpartition_name used with the RENAME SUBPARTITION clause.

You must own the specified table to invoke ALTER TABLE… RENAME PARTITION or ALTER TABLE… RENAME SUBPARTITION.

Parameters

table_name

The name (optionally schema-qualified) of the table in which the partition or subpartition resides.

partition_name

The name of the partition to be renamed.

subpartition_name

The name of the subpartition to be renamed.

new_name

The new name of the partition or subpartition.
