Hi guys,
just a quick and probably stupid question. When I make a cluster
based on an index on a table, how can I remove it later? Should I
'create' a new one by using the primary key index?
Also, can I have more than 1 cluster on my table? Let me explain ...
can I put for instance the record with, let's say, age between 10 and 20
on a specific cluster, from 20 to 30 on another one, and so on?
Thank you
-Gabriele

There are two options:
1. If there is something more relevant to cluster on, you might
cluster on that instead.
2. If there is nothing relevant to cluster on, then you could leave
it alone.
In either case, as _further_ changes are made to the table, the
clustering is likely to lose its effect as new entries will not
necessarily be made in the order the clustering indicates.

No, that idea doesn't make much sense.
CLUSTER reorganizes the table base based an index that you select.
You get to pick one index.
Mind you, if you created a functional index, you might get something
sort of like this.
I'm not sure of the ideal syntax for this, but let's say you made up
an index:
create index age_clusters on tbl1 (round(age, -1));
(Which might or might not resemble how you'd round AGE to the nearest
10 :-)).
Cluster on that index and you might get the desired result. But the
point is that you need to be able to express it as ONE index, not as 5
of them...

I recently came across a database where the data are horizonally partitioned
into 4 tables. I'm not sure if this was a poor design choice, or if it was
done for valid performance reasons. The schema of the tables are essentially
the same, it's just that they are named differenly and the columns are named
differenlty to differentiate the data from a business usage perspective. The
tables could easily be combined inot one by adding a new...

hi,
I am becoming more and more convinced that in order to achieve the
required performance and scalability I need to split my data amoungst
many backend machines.
Ideally I would start with about 10 machine and have 1/10th of the data
on each. As the data set grows I would then buy additional machines to
spread the data over.

I'm sure this is a concept that's been explored here. I have a table
(fairly simple, just two columns, one of which is a 32-digit checksum)
with several million rows (currently, about 7 million). About a million
times a day we do
select * from my_table where md5 = ?
to verify presence or absence of the row, and base further processing on
that information.

Hi there
Am just about to deploy a new application - one of those 'generic' database
types with very little Oracle specific functionality built in.
There is no referential integrity, and one sequence generator. All referential
integrity is maintained by the (java / JDBC) application.
I'm looking at using partitioning as the expected data volume is large (3TB).
A few good partitioning candidates have come to light, and we can range
