We are instituting a new process where we will have two partitioned tables. The parent (test_part) and child (test_part_sources). When I drop the child partition, I update the partition key (part_date) on the parent table to move the row into a new partition. When I attempt to drop the parent partition, I get a foreign key constraint violation. I'm then able to drop the constraint, drop the parent partition, then re-enable the constraint.
Why does the foreign key constraint still exist if the data has moved to a new partition?
Is there any way I can manage this process without disabling/re-enabling the constraint?
Are there any major detractions with enabling row movement with a partition key?

Another dilemma I face is I would like a partitioned index on the visitorid column. However, it appears I cannot create a partitioned index on a column that is not the partition key. Dropping obsolete partitions renders my primary key index unusable. Since we anticipate this table holding a very large volume of data, rebuilding the index online could potentially take too much time/resources.
Has anyone ever worked around this before?
Thanks.

The error is telling you that CONSTRAINTS exist, not that ROWS exist with referencing problems.
You are running a DDL command, not a DML command. DML commands check the rows whereas DDL commands just want the constraints to be disabled.
| Oracle Error Messages Manual | ORA-02266: unique/primary keys in table referenced by enabled foreign keys
Cause: An attempt was made to truncate a table with unique or primary keys referenced by foreign keys enabled in another table. Other operations not allowed are dropping/truncating a partition of a partitioned table or an ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE PARTITION.
Action: Before performing the above operations the table, disable the foreign key constraints in other tables. You can see what constraints are referencing a table by issuing the following command: SELECT * FROM USER_CONSTRAINTS WHERE TABLE_NAME = "tabnam";
