Yeah, sure. What will you do if there are records in that partition? It _will_ happen -- perhaps some day when the cron job fails to run because the machine was down briefly.

For that reason, I much prefer the REORGANIZE approach. And, when p_MAX is empty, the action will be essentially instantaneous, whether online or offline. So, don't worry about performance. (Frankly, I don't know whether it is online/offline; but I have used it before "online" was an option.) This was developed before "online" was an option:

You have a lot of VARCHARs, and they are moderately big. Consider shrinking the table by normalizing suitable VARCHARs. Shrinking the disk footprint will significantly improve speed in some SELECTs.
