OCI-39296

Cannot alter index partitioning type or partitioning columns.

Cause

DBMS_METADATA_DIFF was comparing two indexes with incompatible partitioning: (1) one is partitioned and one is not (2) both are partitioned but in different ways (locally vs. globally, hash vs. range) (3) both are partitioned but on different columns. There is no SQL ALTER statement to change the way an index is partitioned.


Action

The difference cannot be eliminated with an SQL ALTER statement.
