error

error report - sql error: ora-14043: 1 partition may added 14043. 00000 -  "only 1 partition may added" *cause:    alter table add partition contained descriptions of more  1        partition added *action:   ensure statement contains 1 partition        definition , not contain commas 

" using 'oracle 9i', suggest thing"

i'm afraid suggestion upgrade more recent version of oracle. 9i has been out of support decade.

oracle 12c supports the syntax want implement. previous versions support adding single partition @ time; have checked 11gr2 , hurls ora-14043: 1 partition may added.

if can't upgrade you'll have write application add partitions in multiple statements.
