Finding the oldest partition in oracle

574641Apr 12 2010 — edited Apr 20 2010

Hi,

I have a requirement to select data from the oldest partition in an oracle range partitioned table by date.

How do I dynamically detetermine which is the oldest partition?

I tried using MIN(high_value) from user_tab_partitions, but getting the error that "ilegal usage of LONG column"

How do I accomplish this?

Thanks,
Saff
