最近在尝试创建分区表时遇到了ORA-30078报错，提示“ORA-30078: 分区界限必须是 TIME/TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE 文字”，很纳闷儿为什么会报错。
首先我创建一个测试表hoegh1，其中包含一个date类型的时间字段，并以该字段做范围分区，创建成功；
紧接着，尝试创建测试表hoegh2，其中包含一个timestamp类型的时间字段，并以该字段做范围分区，创建失败，遇到了ORA-30078报错。
过程如下：

第 8 行出现错误:

鉴于timestamp类型的时间精度比date类型的要高，因此不能修改列的类型。那怎么办呢？在这儿列出两种解决方案。
一、PARTITION value 类型更改为to_date('20150601','yyyymmdd')
SQL>
SQL> create table hoegh2
2 (
3 id NUMBER,
4 TIMESTAMP TIMESTAMP(6)
5 )
6 partition by range(TIMESTAMP)
7 (
8 partition p_201505 values less than(('20150601','yyyymmdd')),
9 partition p_201506 values less than(('20150701','yyyymmdd')),
10 partition p_201507 values less than(('20150801','yyyymmdd')),
11 partition p_201508 values less than(('20150901','yyyymmdd')),
12 partition p_201509 values less than(('20151001','yyyymmdd')),
13 partition p_201510 values less than(('20151101','yyyymmdd')),
14 partition p_201511 values less than(('20151201','yyyymmdd')),
15 partition p_201512 values less than(('20160101','yyyymmdd')),
16 partition p_201601 values less than(('20160201','yyyymmdd')),
17 partition p_201602 values less than(('20160301','yyyymmdd')),
18 partition p_201603 values less than(('20160401','yyyymmdd')),
19 partition p_201604 values less than(('20160501','yyyymmdd')),
20 partition p_201605 values less than(('20160601','yyyymmdd')),
21 partition p_201606 values less than(('20160701','yyyymmdd')),
22 partition p_201607 values less than(('20160801','yyyymmdd'))
23 );

二、PARTITION value 类型更改为timestamp'2015-06-01 00:00:00.000000'

SQL> drop table hoegh2 purge;

虽然问题得到了顺利解决，但是为什么会报错还是没弄明白，如果有了解原理的朋友还望不吝赐教。
