partition_object_id()

The system function partition_object_id() returns the object identification number of the specified partition. If the parameter "partition_id" or "db_id" is specified as NULL, the return value will also be NULL. The same is valid if the "partition_id" or "db_id" does not exist. The function partition_object_id() is available in ASE starting with version 15.0.1.

Syntax of the System Function partition_object_id()

    partition_object_id(partition_id [,db_id])
    

The Parameters of the System Function partition_object_id()

The function partition_object_id() can be used across databases by specifying the optional parameter "db_id". If the parameter "db_id" is not set, partition_object_id() is executed in the current database.

"partition_id"
The parameter "partition_id" is the identification number (id) of a partition. The "partition_id" can be retrieved from the column "partitionid" in the system table syspartitions.

"db_id"
This is the identification number of the database, in which the object is stored. The db_id can be retrieved from the column dbid in the sytem table sysdatabases or using the stored procedure sp_helpdb.

Example for the System Function partition_object_id()

    select partition_object_id(2)
    go

In the current database, determines the id of the object with the "partition_id" of 2.

    select partition_object_id(2, 4)
    go

Determines the id of the object with the "partition_id" of 2 in the database with dbid 4.

    select partition_object_id(2, NULL)
    go

Returns NULL, because the parameter "db_id" is defined as NULL.
