Coolest Newest Features of External Tables
Importing and exporting data from your database is a common requirement. Many are aware that you can create external tables to read CSV files with the power of SQL.

But it's little known that you can also use external tables to export data too!

This session will recap the key enhancements to external tables in recent releases. Including the most recent addition: the ability to read internal and external data with 19c's hybrid partitioned tables

Question
Hi, I have a requirement where I need to do interval subpartition over a table. but there is an oracle limitation on interval subpartition. how can I achieve this? below is the example. Create table CARS (auto_make varchar(30), Auto_model varchar(30), Purchase_date date) PARTITION BY LIST (auto_make) SUBPARTITION BY RANGE (Purchase_Date) interval (NUMTOYMINTERVAL(1,'month')) SUBPARTITION TEMPLATE (subpartition sp1 values less than TO_DATE('15-03-2015','dd-mm-yyyy')) (partition p_vw values ('JETTA')); Error report - SQL Error: ORA-14179: An unsupported partitioning method was specified in this context. 14179. 00000 - "An unsupported partitioning method was specified in this context." *Cause: An attempt was made to specify an unsupported partitioning method in this context. *Action: Remove the invalid option. Thanks in advance.
Answer

Sorry, as the error indicates, interval subpartitioning isn't implemented yet!
