Experts,

i need to drop old partitions drop in a huge table. i am using
alter table <table name> drop partitions <partition name>
update global index parallel 5;

i have some questions.

what are the considerations i need to take care while dropping the partitions.

does it affects the performance of other queries?
what about local index defined on the partition, above statement will drop local indexes?

what are the pros and corns while dropping the partitions.

can any one guide me
