ORA-39290

Cannot drop a partition of a globally partitioned index.

Cause

DBMS_METADATA_DIFF was comparing two globally partitioned indexes and a partition in the first index does not exist in the second index. There is no SQL ALTER statement to drop a partition of a globally partitioned index.


Action

The difference cannot be eliminated with an SQL ALTER statement.
