If an external table is partitioned, then the existing ALL_EXTERNAL_LOCATIONS, DBA_EXTERNAL_LOCATIONS, and USER_EXTERNAL_LOCATIONS views will have no rows for that table. Instead, locations will be indicated in the ALL_XTERNAL_LOC_PARTITIONS, DBA_XTERNAL_LOC_PARTITIONS, USER_XTERNAL_LOC_PARTITIONS, ALL_XTERNAL_LOC_SUBPARTITIONS, DBA_XTERNAL_LOC_SUBPARTITIONS, and USER_XTERNAL_LOC_SUBPARTITIONS views.

  • DBA_XTERNAL_LOC_PARTITIONS describes partition-level locations in the database.

  • USER_XTERNAL_LOC_PARTITIONS describes partition-level locations owned by the current user. This view does not display the OWNER column.
