Partitioned Index-Organized Tables and LOBs

Oracle9i introduces support for LOB, VARRAY columns stored as LOBs, and BFILEs in partitioned index-organized tables. The behavior of LOB columns in these tables is similar to that of LOB columns in conventional (heap-organized) partitioned tables, except for the following differences:

• Tablespace mapping

• Inline vs out-of-line LOBs

LOB columns are supported only in range partitioned index-organized tables.
