Load/ keep a copy of any parition in main memory.

Alter table <table_name> change partition <partition_name> cache = Y ( cache =N)

'Select' can span on many partitions, a hint can control how many max/min OS process/thread will be used for the select.

I will list few more hints later...

Most of the DBAs automate the partitions' rotation and will accidently delete all the partitions. It will break all the applications and stored procedures. If DBA wants to delete all the partitions then he/she will use the 'DROP TABLE..'
