• 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.
