Abstract
A system and method includes steps or acts of: organizing table partitions in logical order; presenting the partition table numbers and their current ending values in logical order to a user; receiving an alter command from the user, the alter command specifying at least one logical partition number and its corresponding ending value; internally matching the specified logical partition number to its corresponding physical partition number; altering the physical partitioning of the table by manipulating one or more current ending values of partitions by altering the current ending value of the physical partition to which the specified logical partition is associated, such that new ending values are generated; and automatically generating at least one data definition language statement corresponding to the alter command, using the new ending value.
