DROP PARTITION

You can run this command to remove unnecessary partitions. You can delete a partition by specifying the partition name or partition value.

This command cannot be applied to hash partitions.
Running this command will invalidate the global index. You can use the UPDATE GLOBAL INDEX clause to update the global index synchronously or rebuild the global index.
When a partition is deleted, if the partition has a sparsely partitioned index that belongs only to the current partition, the sparsely partitioned index is deleted in cascading mode.
