PARTITIONCHECK

The PARTITIONCHECK function identifies whether an aggmap object is compatible with the partitioning specified by a partition template object.

Aggregation can cross partitions; however, the data flow must always be in one direction. The data cannot go both in and out of the same partition; this processing causes Oracle OLAP to produce an error during the aggregation.

Return Value

BOOLEAN.

YES when Oracle OLAP would not issue an error when aggregating a variable partitioned using the specified partition template using the specified aggmap; or NO when an error would occur.

Syntax

PARITITONCHECK (aggmap parttition-template)

Arguments

aggmap

A text expression that is the name of an aggmap object.

partition-template

A text expression that is the name of the partition template object that you want to check for compatibility with aggregation.
