INSERT INTO startend_pt VALUES (1,5001);
ERROR:  dn_6003_6004: inserted partition key does not map to any table partition

Possible Causes

In range partitioning, the table is partitioned into ranges defined by a key column or set of columns, with no overlap between the ranges of values assigned to different partitions. Data is mapped to a created partition based on the partition key value. If the data can be mapped to, it is inserted into the specific partition; if it cannot be mapped to, error messages are returned.

In this example, partition_key of the partitioned table tpcds.startend_pt is c2. Data inserted into the table is divided into five partitions that do not overlap. Data 5001 corresponding to column c2 exceeds the range (5001>5000). As a result, an error is reported.

Handling Procedure

Plan partitions properly to ensure that the data can be inserted as planned.

If the planned partitions cannot meet the actual requirements, you can add partitions and then insert data. For the preceding case, you can add partition c2. The partition range is between 5000 and MAXVALUE.
