ALL_TAB_PARTITIONS displays partition-level partitioning information, partition storage parameters, and partition statistics generated by the DBMS_STATS package or the ANALYZE statement for the partitions accessible to the current user.
DBA_TAB_PARTITIONS displays such information for all partitions in the database.
USER_TAB_PARTITIONS displays such information for the partitions of all partitioned objects owned by the current user. This view does not display the TABLE_OWNER column.
Note:
Columns marked with an asterisk (*) are populated only if you collect statistics on the table with the ANALYZE statement or the DBMS_STATS package.Note:
The following is true for the columns below that include double asterisks (**) in the column description:The column can display information about segment-level attributes (for simple partitioned tables) or metadata (for composite partitioned tables). In a simple partitioned table, the partition physically contains the data (the segment) in the database. In a composite partitioned table, the partition is metadata and the data itself is stored in the subpartitions.

Footnote 1 Hybrid Columnar Compression is a feature of the Enterprise Edition of Oracle Database that is dependent on the underlying storage system. See Oracle Database Concepts for more information.
