I dont know if i am wrong but is there a easy way out for this.
May be if i say.
Partition function fx(10,20,30)
partition scheme sc on fx all to primary
Create Table blabla_bla ( i int primary Key scheme fx(i))on fx(i)
create table blabla_bla_mirror( i int primary Key scheme fx(i))on fx(i))
switch partiton x to blabla_bla_mirror (x)
your partition is empty now
drop table mirror.
