Re: a lot of session wait on lock relation

Thanks, we are checking the partition maintain job , we have 12 partitions
, each week one partition there is a default partition attached with this
table and huge rows in default partition too , default partition has
primary key that include partition key (time range based) too. partition
job detach/drop old partition and add/attach new partition each week.
when add/attach new partition , with default partition to verify that it
contains no records which should be located in the partition being
attached, it will full scan or use partition key(part of primary key) scan
instead ? primary key (columa, partitionkey).

Thanks,

James
