We are using oracle 10g. some of our Tables contains clob data and size is huge >700GB.
and huge space is fragmented in these tables. We need to reorg these tables.
Currently We are going with partitioning these tables. There are 3 approach to copy the data from the non partition table to partition table.

1. Create a blank partition table and select clob data from no partition table and insert that using script
2. Create a blank single partition table and do exchange partition and then split the single partition into multiple partition

3. Partitioning an Existing Table using DBMS_REDEFINITION

We need to know which can be done at the quickest . We have to complete it with 8-10 hr outage . Any opinion?

What is your full database version? i.e. output from:

SQL> select * from v$version;


I had issues using DBMS_REDEFINITION in 10.2.0.4 I think, but I'd have to check my notes to be sure.

DBMS_REDEFINITION is the slowest one and is to be used only if you have no (or very short) downtime.
Splitting partitions in also very slow.
INSERT SELECT (1) in append and parallel mode (if your hardware can support it) is the best way, I think.

If you do have downtime, another option is datapump using parallel threads.
I reorg'd a 2TB size table (18+ million rows) in less than 8 hours using parallel 8.
The caveat is you need disk space to do it.

Also what helps response time for queries, is to use separate tablespaces for the data and the LOB's
Good luck!

only if underlying data files reside on different physical disks
