The PARTITION BY HASH clause of the CREATE TABLE statement identifies that the table is to be hash partitioned. The PARTITIONS clause can then be used to specify the number of partitions to create, and optionally, the tablespaces to store them in. Alternatively, you can use PARTITION clauses to name the individual partitions and their tablespaces.
The only attribute you can specify for hash partitions is TABLESPACE. All of the hash partitions of a table must share the same segment attributes (except TABLESPACE), which are inherited from the table level.
