odps-table: Add partition to a table.
$ alter table ${table_name} add partition (${partition_spec});
try on your machine

This command is used to alter an existing table and add a new partition. Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • ALTER TABLE: This keyword is used to modify the structure of an existing table in a database.

  • ${table_name}: This is a placeholder for the name of the table that you want to alter. You need to replace ${table_name} with the actual name of the table.

  • ADD PARTITION: This clause specifies that you want to add a partition to the table.

  • (${partition_spec}): This is the partition specification, which defines the criteria or values that determine how the table data is divided into partitions. The partition specification can include one or more columns and their corresponding values. You need to replace ${partition_spec} with the actual partition specification that fits your needs.

To use this command, you would replace ${table_name} with the name of the table you want to alter and ${partition_spec} with the desired criteria for the new partition. The command would then be executed to add the specified partition to the table.
