A couple of ideas…
Is T_LDGR_FACT partitioned already? If so, just use merge
each of your 2003 partitions into one and exchange that resulting
partition with T_LDGR_FACT_2003 non partitioned table. T_LDGR_FACT would
still have 2003 partition but it would now be empty and could be dropped.
or
If T_LDGR_FACT is not partitioned, create an empty copy of it T_LDGR_FACT_COPY,
partitioned as one big partition covering the entire range of T_LDGR_FACT.
Then exchange partition between T_LDGR_FACT and the empty copy and split the
partitions of the resulting table down to the year, then exchange the 2003
partition with T_LDGR_FACT_2003. Clean up by merging partitions in T_LDGR_FACT
_COPY and exchanging that back to T_LDGR_FACT or by dropping the original,
now empty T_LDGR_FACT and renaming the partitioned copy of it to T_LDGR_FACT.
I hope this makes sense (and I hope I understand your question)
as I’m slightly handicapped right now by all the details of the Lost season
finally running through my head (Wow!).

Subject: Exchange Partition
I knew about the
normal “exchange partition” stuff, but I thought that one could
also “swap partitions” which evidently no.
I’ve got a 5
year table, say T_LDGR_FACT. I want to make a T_LDGR_FACT_2003 and move all the
2003 partitions to it.
It appears
I’ll be using insert into x select * from y(partition 200301), etc. I can
break it down into partitions to keep it manageable.
Just was so sure
there was a “cheater” way to “move” them. This is
9.2.0.6 on HP_UX.
