Environment ASE 15.7 SP132 on Solaris 64bit with Partitions enabled.
I am trying to keep my table partitions in a separate defined segment/device and my index
partitions on that partition table in a separate defined segment/device.
My problem is that when I go to define a local index on the partitioned table, I specify a segment
that I want to contain just the indexes (partitioned indexes), but it appears that the partitioned
table and the indexes now belong to the segment/device that is created just for the indexes.
I have a partitioned table, which is partitioned by Range, based on date range. The date range is
monthly. 12 months worth of data (1 year of data in the table) is stored in one defined segment
which belongs to one physical device.
For example:
Here is my partitioned table. It's range partitioned, and each year's worth of data is stored in a
segment that is defined/created in a separate physical device.
Segment infraaudit2015seg is created in device infra_device1.
Segment infraaudit2016seg is created in device infra_device2.
Segment infraaudit2017seg is created in device infra_device3.
Segment infraaudit2018seg is created in device infra_device4.
Segment infraaudit2019seg is created in device infra_device5.
I want a year's worth of partitioned data stored in one device. Each year has it's own physical
device. Each of those devices have the the default and system segments dropped. However, there is
one device associated to the database that this table belongs to that has a default segment still
defined.

I want to define local indexes on the audit_event partition table, such that the indexes pick up
the same partitioning scheme. When I create the indexes using just the word local, example:
CREATE nonclustered index idx2_audit_event
ON audit_event(audit_event_timestamp, audit_sequence, audit_organization, audit_object,
audit_column_name, LOWER(audit_identity)) local index
GO
Then, the index and all of the partitions are associated to the default segment. The audit_event
partitions no longer belong to the infraauditYYYYseg segments that I created. I do not want this.
If I create a new device called partition_indexes, and drop the default and system segments from
that device, and create a new segment in that device called index_infraseg, and then try to create
the index using this syntax:
CREATE nonclustered index idx2_audit_event
ON audit_event(audit_event_timestamp, audit_sequence, audit_organization, audit_object,
audit_column_name, LOWER(audit_identity)) on index_infraseg local index idx2ae on index_infraseg
GO
Then the index appears to be part of the index_infraseg, but then so do all of the partitions. The
partitions no longer belong to the infraauditYYYYseg segments, and now belong to the index_infraseg
segment.
How can I keep my audit_event partitions in separate segments/devices from the indexes which I want
in the index_infraseg segment/parition_index device?
Thanks
