Thank you for your bug report. This issue has been addressed in the documentation. The updated documentation will appear on our website shortly, and will be included in the next release of the relevant product(s). Additional info: 1. This was true when I tested it in the course of writing the Partitioning chapter (I know some people think I just make stuff up, but I really don't). Since no bug was ever filed and it wasn't covered in the WL, I had no way of knowing that this was not expected behaviour. I've cut this paragraph from the chapter. 2. My feeling was that if I didn't say something like this, then someone would complain that I'd not covered what happens when you try this statement against a non-partitioned table. ;) 3. Again, this was what I uncovered during tests with a pre-release build. (I can't test the behaviour of a release that's not yet been released.) Since you've provided a working counterexample (almost identical to one which I tried and which did NOT work when I wrote the chapter), I've cut the offending paragraph. Thanks for bringing my attention to these issues!
