Table Partitions

This is like the third very general question you have asked.  Are these homework or exam questions?

Are you not wanting to read the docs?

The 'types' are here:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e25523/partition.htm#autoId17

Hash partitioning here:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e25523/partition.htm#autoId20

The docs even say when it is ideal to use...

Excerpt from the link:  Hash partitioning is the ideal method for distributing data evenly across devices

Hi,

I know in Oracle site we can get the documents.Since I am working multiple technologies & multiple projects I do not have time to go through the huge volumes of info.

If you already having knowledge on the topics please share with us,It will be helpful for the readers.

Along with the explanation if you can share the reference links it would be well and good,

I hope you can understand the problem.

Thanks,

I'm not sure anyone can provide you with the general overview of what you are asking better than the docs can.  If you need someone to read through documentation and provide sort of an executive summary, I suggest hiring a research assistant.

The different types are partitioning available are right there in the links I provided.  There aren't huge volumes to go through.  Open the link and scan a page or two.

Here is a copy/paste form the first few lines of the first link I posted:
Partitioning Strategies
 
Oracle Partitioning offers three fundamental data distribution methods as basic partitioning strategies that control how data is placed into individual partitions:

•Range
•Hash
•List

Using these data distribution methods, a table can either be partitioned as a single list or as a composite partitioned table:

 •Single-Level Partitioning
 •Composite Partitioning
 
Each partitioning strategy has different advantages and design considerations. Thus, each strategy is more appropriate for a particular situation.

Is there any way to select the perticular partition in the "where clause" if I want to select the records from partition_1?If so,is that applicable to all of the patition types(Range,Hash,..)
